Somewhere north of El Cardonal \/\/<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we’re alone for the first time in weeks, it\u2019s time to tend to some of life\u2019s responsibilities.\u00a0 Mark spends hours inside the camper sorting out some tech issues related to this website as well as some insurance headaches and other miscellany.\u00a0 I sit inside the trailer with my laptop and work on a writing project.\u00a0 Our life in Baja may look like a perpetual vacation, and we are indeed extremely fortunate to have a lot of time to spend as we wish, but the mundane chores and responsibilities that come with being an adult are ever-present, no matter our location.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t help but holler at Mark to come outside when I see a whale passing by and he, of course, can\u2019t resist the opportunity.\u00a0 As a result he gets disconnected from the tech support conversation he was having regarding our website.\u00a0 Trying to be productive in a setting like this comes with unique challenges. I use the word \u201cchallenges\u201d here very lightly : )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our appetites are what eventually motivate us to stop working.  Mark makes his second attempt at crafting corn tortillas from scratch and nails it.  He goes on to make us some damn good tacos and we both get pretty excited about what this means.  As long as we have rice, beans, corn flour, and some veggies, we can make food go a long ways at any remote campsite that we don\u2019t feel like leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At sunset, Josh, Darci & Hannah return from their day of doing some service work outside of La Paz.  We settle right back in to being a camp of 5 and share in our collective gratitude for not being in the frigid US.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like an ordinary day by our standards and is just what I\u2019ve been craving.  Slowing down and savoring, proving once again, to be the way we most enjoy our travels. <\/p>\n\n\n
