Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Almejas chocolatas (chocolate clams) at Restaurant Playa Pichilingue – delicious (thanks Gilly)
It turns on to Palmira, which in a short distance leads to the Malecón and Sea of Cortez. To the north are the tennis courts and entrance to the Hotel Araiza Palmira where last week the U.S. baseball team playing in the Pan-American games stayed (yes, a random fact). Not much to look at but offers some orientation to our hood.
The road to our house, Golfo de California, is nothing special – dirt and rocks that turn into mud and more rocks when it rains. The road runs more or less east-west. The first photo shows the entrance to our road from La Palmira. The middle photo, due east, captures our private if not entirely charming neighborhood.

― John Steinbeck, The Log from the Sea of Cortez
We wondered why so much of the Gulf was familiar to us, why this town had a ‘home’ feeling. We had never seen a town which even looked like La Paz, and yet coming to it was like returning rather than visiting. Some quality there is in the whole Gulf that trips a trigger of recognition so that in fantastic and exotic scenery one finds oneself nodding and saying inwardly, ‘Yes, I know.’
We had a great first day in La Paz. Got up at 7 am, walked 15 minutes into town, had omelets, a mango slurp, and a capuccino at the coffee shop Breeze, met Juli who run Se Habla La Paz. Charlie had a 2 hour lesson with Alexa – she said he was the perfect student – while I found the farmer’s market (disappointing – very few vendors, very little produce), a new coffee shop … more
