Sixteen Favorite Things from Baja

1. Outdoor shower next to spectacular cactus. 2. Enjoying the perfectly empty beach.3. Reading many books and magazines (from Sue Monk Kidd's When the Heart Waits to US Weekly).4. A modern home nestled into the desert landscape.5. The local taco stand open only Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday nights with amazing shrimp and fish tacos. Perfect with a Pacifico.
6. Garett's green salsa with delicious tomatillos and new kinds of peppers.
7. Ceviche made with fish caught by Garett from his kayak the day before.8. Sitting perched over the Sea of Cortez on the patio at Hotel Punta Pescadero (two miles south of the house we rented).9. Very kind people, even a couple who gave us their number and email address and offered to watch Wyatt (when we bring him next time) for an evening.
10. Swimming in the ocean, feeling the swell of the waves and the lingering salt on my lips.
11. Long talks with my love. Dreaming together and being reminded of why we married each other. Jotting down some family values for 2010 - kind of like goals only a bit more flexible.12. Seeing the most crazy spider ever (wish I had a picture).
13. Intensely missing Wyatt for the first time - a good feeling.
14. Watching Season Two of the TV show 24. Jack Bauer is my new TV hero.
15. Unusually good eggs and avocados. Probably the best ever.
16. Knowing Wyatt was loved and cared for by his grandparents in our absence.
