This page is simply a place to collect a few thoughts so they won't be lost in the midst of all that we are discovering. The first list is of ways we've heard locals describe how to spend a perfect day in this area. It's a reminder that a perfect day is always close at hand. The second list is one I expect to be ever growing - a list of random observations about life in Mexico as they occur to us while we are finding our way here.
What could you do if you simply had a day to spend in this beautiful area?
Cautrovientos class, a punta lobo hike and a garden lunch/dinner at oystera or a rooftop drink ( hotel guayacura).
Drive a friend up through the back of Todos Santos up to the El Mirador restaurant for lunch, and then drop down to the other side of the hill
Cerritos beach & dinner at Shaka’s Delicious Wood Cantina
The Green Room for lunch, afternoon at play at Los Palmas & an evening of Karaoke with the best in town, Windsong Karaoke
A lively dinner at dusk at Il Giordano, ice cream at Baha Tasty
Balandra Beach near La Paz, sometimes called the most beautiful beach in the world, for kayaking, picnicking, swimming, snorkeling and sea lion watching. Or, go a little bit further to Tecalote
Just a little more than an hour away, go ziplining, horseback riding, parasailing, ATV riding in the dunes, rent a waverunner, take a sunset cruise.
Spend a day going to the art galleries and shopping the bohemian shops in Todos Antos before lunch int he garden at Oystera.
In a couple of years, I am sure most if not all of these observations will seem normal. But for now, they are ways that my freshly expatriated mind distinguishes this place as definitely different from what I am used to. We are not in Kansas anymore, that's for certain.
On any given day one may see a number of unbridled, unsaddled horses making their way through the outskirts of town and even into your yard if ungated. During some morning walks I've even seen multiple horses galloping down a dirt road. I can't decide if this is a beautiful example of equine freedom or a sign of animal abuse.
Many folks in the US seem to believe that Mexico is an extremely version of the wild, wild west with few rules and regulations. Maybe in some areas (like building codes if our recent experience is any indication), but not when it comes to banking. To withdraw a couple of thousand dollars last week I needed to give my own fingerprint and a bank officer had to come over to the teller to offer theirs as well.
In the US if you hear a lively melody being played by a truck motoring down the street you can be reasonably sure there is ice cream at hand. Here in Mexico it likely means there is a propane gas tank letting you know it is available for top-offs.
