Our next stop on the map was the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, CA. The plan for the day was were going to do a walk around the zoo and then do a circular route through the San Bernadino National Forest to end up in Palm Springs for the night. But… plans changed as […]
How did we get from San Jose del Cabo, Mexico to Indio, CA you ask? Well, we left Buena Vista Beach Resort on Monday to go to the airport. Had a lovely breakfast overlooking the ocean on the outside deck before we left. Listening to the waves on the beach and drinking fresh squeezed orange juice. We […]
Yesterday we ended up at Buena Vista Beach Resort and it was everything we hoped for in a hotel and more. When we headed up to the hot spring pool Rob was wearing his cowboy hat and a fellow that was already there said: “hey… are you from Texas”? Turns out they were and one of them […]
After our harrowing first day, we finally left Cabo San Lucas to Los Barriles. We decided to give Cabo San Lucas one more try that morning to see what the people find so fascinating about it. After looking long and hard down back and front streets, we found the highway heading out of town and took […]
We left home only 2 days ago heading for the Baja but it feels like we’ve packed a week into those 2 days. It all started with getting up at 2:30 am and going to the airport. Going through the checkpoint was relatively easy as there were little or no people there but Rob ended […]

The birds of South Padre Island, Texas are numerous and spectacular. and so different than the birds we get here on the west coast of Canada. Well… not entirely different as there are a few species that travel through our neighbourhood on their way too and from the nesting grounds. Birds like the American coot, black-bellied […]
Today the trees were calling to me. After spending a few days deep in technical details my brain had started to hurt and I could see the trees waving their branches out the window. “Come and spend time with us,” they said. “I don’t have time” I replied… “I need to get this done“. Come they […]
Today we went from Corpus Christi to South Padre Island, TX. We got up early and checked the weather. Cold in Corpus Christi as the cool air headed down from the north and the warmest place we could find was South Padre Island, so down the road, we went. The sky was overcast and there […]
