December 2023 - January 2024

Hola. It's been a while since we did a blog. This one covers part of our drive down, the band visit, our Christmas back in Ladner and our return in the new year.

Both Leanne's Mom and Paul's Dad are in hospital and facing many age related issues. 

As usual, this selection of various photos tells the story of our interesting life down here in the ever changing city of La Paz.

A pre-dinner jam at our first stop in Eugene visiting Tim & Julie

We cycled across the Golden Gate on our wedding anniversary

...and had a nice lunch in Sausalito

We visited the giant redwood forest...

...and this lovely guy gave us a mandala that he'd made!

We had a merry afternoon with Tamara & Steve in San Diego

In Mulege we met Coco's Dad, Bonnie

he took us on a wonderful boat trip including this hidden beach

We visited Mulege Brewing and met Miguel the brewer from Peru.

Our arrival at home in La Paz came with a heavy downpour

and the 'jungle' garden after all the rain during the summer

The Baja 1000 race started in La Paz, and went through our neighbourhood
