Looking Over My Shoulder

Looking over my shoulder...in the rear view mirror, I see, once again, we're leaving it all behind.  What you ask?  What are you leaving behind?  

                                  Sunrise from a kayak, quiet and beautiful.

              Afternoons under the umbrella.

                                        Playing with other people's toys.

          Late lunch at Poncho Villa Restaurante over looking the Mulege River.

                                          Paddle boarding with buddies....

                                          Swimming lessons for the fur kids.

            Happy Hour campfires at Campo SIMPSON.

         Day trips like this trip to San Javier and a rest under the 300 year old olive tree by the mission.

                                     Playtime with ink pens and watercolor pencils.

                              Puppies.....

Leonard Cohen party...ukulele afternoons, open mic jams, movie nights, music lessons by Karen, art class with Lynn....

                            And more puppies....

                      New friends and old....ukuleles and guitars....and a howling pup!

               Lazy days trying for a tri-Athlon...walking, yoga, paddle boarding...oh, and kayaking...

               Gold stars on our Spanish lesson papers from mi miestra Lily!!

                         Dinner and a show...movie nights under the stars.

          Palapa shell garden art!

                               The goodbyes....

                            Packing days...only 1 and 1/2...

                        A very compact bit of "stuff" to leave behind.

                                                 Driving out.....

     Ready for the road....but do they know there are three weeks ahead?

      Goodbye beaches....

            And on up over the Santa Rosalia hill...

     But first, Goodbye Mulege....

     Then the hill....

     On to San Ignacio...

     And Catavina...

    On to Ensenada...

     ....and then the Tecate border crossing...

Goodbye Baja.  "Summer in the Winter 2015-2016" is over.  It's all in the rear view.  I can just barely see it as I turn my head and look over my shoulder.....
