Doing my inner Doc this morning. Someone has to do me, right?

After a grand week of bodyweight training, interval running and weight sessions, I am enjoying another peaceful morning and my well-practiced art of relaxation.

N31 43 14 W116 41 34 is my paradise. Also known as “Dockerty’s Pub”, my walls hang quietly, rarely reverberating from the cacophony of human storms and drama.

Hey, I said “rarely”, not “never”, you wild thing. But, my home more closely resembles a monastery than a pub.

With my 48 pumps-per-minute resting heart rate, my mind is also synchronized to that relaxed state.

I’m not anxious about the next moment, the next meeting, the next person, the next….

I’m enjoying this moment. No “Cuando? Cuando? Cuando?” from Murph and the Magic Tones for me.

Funny thing about my Spanish efforts. Tengo muchos días que no hablo NADA! I am much more quiet than most people judge. So it’s not just my Spanish that lacks practice. My English is often on vacation.

They are just words.

From a geological point of view, the Agua Blanca fault is considered active, but there has been little significant seismic activity directly associated with it...

Cafe Arabiga, Ensenada

Posted by: bajadock, 5:22 PM GMT on April 12, 2012

I was downtown and searching my brain cells for a wifi cafe location to relax after some dental surgery. My mind followed a route from the north end of Costero Blvd and Lopez Mateos south. There are dozens of wifi spots along that tourist area. See Ensenada Interactive Map.I am no fan of the big chain cafes and the tourist zone seemed too busy for my throbbing jaw. Like magic, I remembered my intro to Luis and the approximate location of Cafe Arabiga.It is amazi...

Barriers for Baja Tourists

Posted by: bajadock, 8:12 PM GMT on April 06, 2012

I decided do conduct an extremely detailed and scientific survey of more than a handful of locals on their perception of the top reason Baja bars tourists.Although hotels are filling, restaurants are busier and streets are brimming with traffic this Easter week("Semana Santa"), tourism throughout the year is still weak.My survey during the month of March,was mostly among the gringo community here. I also caught a decent sampling of Mexicano business owners to parti...
