You take in the view. And do nothing else unless it involves tacos, beer, or a bathroom break.

Life is beautiful in Baja

And when you find yourself back in civilization, you’ll be ready to let go of all the preconceived notions and misconceptions you had about the things you thought you knew.

I hope everyone has — or will find — that special Baja in your heart and your life.
