It was a beautiful day in a non typical way. With Tropical Storm Patricia trying to decide where she wanted to go, we had rain and sunshine and rain and sunshine all day which meant that we had rainbows left and right today: Beautiful even when it rains…

We’ve had a tropical storm threatening to hit this area for the past few days. One day it is supposed to hit us directly and the next it isn’t supposed to come anywhere close (thus the true unpredictability of ocean storms) At this time it looks like it’s going to miss us, but that hasn’t [...]

I’m back from Cabo San Lucas and will be spending the rest of the month is Los Barriles. Didn’t do too much work while in Cabo, so I decided to get up early to catch up. This is what greeted me for my office view this morning:

Had a friend that was vacationing The Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas invite me down to stay a few days. Took the bus from Los Barriles to Cabo San Lucas yesterday and will be here for a few more days. Most definitely a step up in class from where I have been staying since it’s [...]

I take for granted having a reliable Internet connection and power supply but I’m quickly learning that even though I’m staying in a place that purports to have both, that is not necessarily the case.

In the middle of Los Barriles where I’m staying there are two huge palm trees. I never really paid them much attention except that I did note they were really tall compared to the other palm trees in the area. Then on my walk home yesterday I noticed that they are used as cell phone [...]

One of the joys of visiting a new place is walking around and exploring. There is always something interesting or surprising that you come across that you just don’t see back home. I love the colorful Mexican beach homes that seem to fit right in which is amazing since if you ever tried to paint [...]

I started to get into my daily routine and it is certainly one that I could get used to. I get up early and head down to the beach between 7:00 and 8:00 and swim for an hour or so. Swimming and walking the beach is my workout regiment for the month: The sea is [...]

I spend most of my day in front of a computer so one of the reasons that being a digital nomad has great appeal to me is that it allows me to escape my little office room. I don’t mind my office, but when I have a choice between a wall with a cork board [...]
