Casa des Ballenas y des Bassanos |
The new addition |
|
|
The Bassanos have spent a tremendous amount of energy making
this former garage into a comfortable dwelling where we have
spent many hours. |
The slats around the balcony are made from cardon cactus
that have fallen and dried over several years. |

The aquarium |
The public library
|
|
|
Rainy's artistry and sense of humor are showcased in
her detailed murals. Here she has painted the outdoor shower
as an aquarium where feeding times are at 8-6.
You have to get your shower at around 3:30 in the afternoon
as it gets cold and the sun goes down at 4:30 in the winter.
Bahia des Los Angeles is on the eastern edge of the Pacific Time
Zone. |
The neighbors donated their outdoor closet as the public
library after much community discussion about locating it at
the local gathering place (the dump). After reading the six books
I had brought with me, I went on a hunt for reading material.
Dennis suggested the library. When I found it it was an unorderly
collection of books. I undertook to organize it by category. |

Bruno's Birthday |
|
|
The buzzards sun themselves atop
the cardon cactus everyday. This is a common site in Baja. |
Bruno Forcella accompanied us to Baja and during our stay
he turned 24 years old. He was given much advice for his years
ahead.

Sunset from the porch |
The evenings in Bahia are lovely. They are filled with
sunsets and stars. On our last evening this soft display of hues
bid us farewell until next time. |
