It doesn't break often like that, but La Paz never does.

folks were out yesterday in front of the house... man, brought back a lot of found memories

what a way to spend a day... catching rides for free.. couple of sandwiches in the ice chest..

what a cool sport...

Thanks, Teniente - this information is good. We only live 30 miles from Sacramento and I will go next week and get my Apostille for Marriage Certificate now insteading of waiting to do it in San Deigo. One more hoop finished before Baja living.
