Christmas 2013 - a memorable one in Baja

Christmas eve consisted on candles in paper bags all along the beach followed by private fireworks provided by one of the snowbirds.  A smaller event than the Sydney fireworks but as memorable.

Christmas hats along the beach on Christmas morning.

Pot luck Xmas dinner on the beach.  There were 75 people in attendance ranging in nationalities.  The dishes ranged from delicious to exquisite.




Someone took photos and gave people a postcard of the photo.  Too precious to post I am afraid.  I am keeping this postcard to remind me of our wonderful 2013 Christmas on the beach at El Coyote.


With Patty and Tom from Vancouver and naughty Max the rescue dog.  They are one of the many friends we have made on this wonderful Baja visit with invitations to come and visit when we are in Canada and the US next year on the next leg of our trip.   We have met many wonderful people and we look forward to catching up with them again and to reminisce about El Coyote and Baja.


My Mexican red dress.  I did not wear it to the pot luck but I am modelling it on the sand dunes.  It is in two layers and it can be worn in 8 different styles.


Red hills on the Pacific side of Baja on the way back to mainland US.  We have covered 4,000 kms on this round Baja trip.  Every inch of it was worth it.


Here is a map of the Baja peninsula.  It is 1700 kms from top to toe, that is from Tijuana (in our case a little further, actually from Tecate) to the southernmost tip Cabo San Lucas.  We drove down, across and up again.  The map unfortunately is not detailed enough to mark the spots we visited.


And a wonderful sunset to end this wonderful journey to Mexico.
