Equestrian adventures cater to tourists, young and old, in Baja California.
Entrepreneurs aggressively stalked new visitors, hawking hoodies, jewelry and fresh coconut juice.
At our beach club: Two-for-one cocktails, ceviche and tacos. A Salsa-version of 50 Cent’s ‘In Da Club’ (It’s Your Birthday) blasted away on the speakers.

Photo Friday: Distant

Napa seems like a distant memory.
I turned 37 in Baja California.
My hubby and I celebrated with a wine tasting tour of Valle de Guadalupe.
I loved the wine here.

I think we could have spent all day at Vinisterra. The tasting room operator kept opening bottles. Another family enjoyed a cheese plate. We toured the vineyard and chilled out on the patio, lounging in arm chairs made from wine barrels.

My souvenir: Vinisterra Macouzet – 2008 Tempranillo.

This is my entry for Photo Friday: Distant.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold

A blessing for travelers.

On our day trip to Mexico, I spotted this 75-foot statue of Jesus off the highway leading to Ensenada.

Travel Theme: Hot

My reading hammock in Ixtapa, Mexico. 100-degree weather kept us in shorts for our honeymoon, back in 2005.

Breakfast at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. At the pool, we found some relief from the desert heat. I remember temperatures hitting 100 degrees before 10 AM.
