A Blustery Day

Bennett and Genevieve’s Blog…

Today was a blustery winter day in Baja. The white caps were out, the boat did not work, and ramen was served for lunch. We ventured out to the town square with our beat up legs from Mike’s hike to photograph the town and visit the museum. While we were out, we dodged cacti, wished we had brought warmer clothes, traveled to the market to buy tortillas (ramen was not so satisfying), and met Rafe’s neighbor at the museum. When leaving the museum, after we had a small chat with Rafe’s neighbor, we encountered 2 barking dogs that looked like they could kill us; luckily a 7 year old playing with a tractor came to the rescue. The scientists played with shells in the afternoon, while the painters drew Dan; Luke did too.

***Rafe would like to add that it started out glass calm on the water, which is why he and Ted traveled out in the boat and then it proceeded to die and left them stranded, and then the wind began to blow…. so Dan, Karen, and Ted went for a swim and pulled the boat with their teeth back to shore…. Then again, this is the same man that told Gen last night that carrots were the same thing as corn, only a different color.
