Our shakedown trip for our new lifestyle worked out pretty well. We had a great time in La Paz with an awesome place to stay. Here are a few memories and even fewer words.
Los Barriles (The Barrels) on the East Cape. The story goes that there is gold hidden in barrels in the hills. We took a final road trip around the southern peninsula to fill in the gap of our Baja Sur travel map: Los Barriles is a remote beach and fishing community, 45 minutes from the airport in Cabo. Off-roading is popular. Pink’s mother-in-law has a beach bar (pictured). The town has dirt roads with cows, goats, etc that will cross in front of you..and pretty nice hotels.
There’s gold in these hills…so they say

Travel Broadly - Marlene & Steve 
You packed a lot into your 2 month visit. Photos are stunning!
Steve has begun to remind me that this is NOT an extended vacation – it is a lifestyle change..which I think means he needs more time doing nothing.
Great pictures. So much to see and experience. Thanks for sharing.
Love the sunset photos. They’re incredible!
The sunsets at times were wild! One night we had 7 blazing colors in under 20 minutes. That’s the ocean for you!
