We have spent the last week visiting with friends and getting ready to leave Paradise (Costabaja). We now not only have a breakfast on Wednesday’s with the marina boaters, but also a happy hour every Tuesday evening at a local restaura…

John Long, our ranch manager and long time friend, arrived late last Tuesday evening. We told him that we would be waiting for him in the bar – his flight was early and he beat us to the beer.  We spent the week shopping in La Paz…
