Back to La Paz after 21 months

It's getting close to the time when we fly back to Vancouver for Christmas. It has been so good to return to our home on the hillside, it really feels natural to be here and meet all the friends we've missed. 

We had some lovely visitors. Here's a selection of photos from the past five weeks (grandchildren content: LOW{Hoto}).

Thanks again to Naveen & Jill for hosting us a Hacienda del Mar

And a wonderful, memorable boat trip to see whales and snorkel

And a nice game of golf at Palmilla 

We're looking forward to seeing these two squirts soon

And Lilly already has her passport photo! 

Finally heading back to La Paz

We are excited to fly back to La Paz on November 2. It will have been 21 months since we left.
We anticipate a lot will have changed in this time - more building around us, some favourite places no longer exist. But we are really looking forward to seeing all our friends and getting back into the Baja lifestyle again.

Here's a selection of photos from the last year - mostly of the lovely grandkids!.
