It doesn’t matter what time of day it is—when Panchita (flakita) arrives at my gate, I provide a bowl of food. This is assuming I see her, she’s so quiet. When neighboring dogs are skinny and hungry because they have bad owners, it’s not their fault. When I can supplement food, I will. #dogsofmexico

My chihuahua looking back at me, as if to ask — you’re gonna go get her food, right?!

Yesterday was tragic. *Sensitivity warning* Our colonia experienced its first ever loss of life by drowning. Sadly today, they’re still looking for him. It was so heartbreaking last night as I stood watching the police boat with its blue light, circling. It’s gonna take time to let that memory go.

Last night, I saw the police boat with the blue light, circling around and around, I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t stopping. We don’t ever see that here. My neighbors had every jet ski they own, out on the water doing SAR with the authorities. It’s hard to comprehend going to the beach and never making it home. My heart breaks for this situation. We’ve been hitting record high temps and people who don’t normally swim, are here and are in the ocean. It becomes dangerous, as we do not have life guards at our beach.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of this young man. 🤍

I’ve seen those made in Rosarito, BC. They’re making a long journey, north!

I usually post photos, but the most beautiful way to watch the sunset, is with motion. #sunsets #beachlife

The surf has been pretty rough the past day or so, not that you can see it in this picture. #beachlife #surfing

The rain stopped, but the clouds stayed around. They made for a pretty sunset. #beachlife #sunsets

Thick clouds at sunset. The orange of the sky reflects on the wet beach sand.

Very dramatic clouds at sunset last night. Today we’re waking up to gray skies and sprinkles. #sunsets #beachlife

I have been anxiously awaiting this bloom and was so excited to see it today! Looks like the bugs got to it as soon as it popped, but here it is—a Black-Eyed Susan Vine, African Sunset Mix. #gardening #beachlife

A local gift shop displays an ofrenda in preparation for Día de los Muertos which happens at the beginning of November. #diadelosmuertos #mexico

An ofrenda is a Mexican alter or memorial, set up for the remembrance of our loved ones who have passed. Each element of the ofrenda has a specific purpose. Giant marigolds (not setup in this ofrenda yet) also called cempasúchil, provide a strong scent to lead family members home, Bread and milk are left as an offering for when they arrive. Other various personal items and photos are included as well.

I had THE BEST agua de guayaba (guava water) at lunch yesterday. There was no water, just guava perfection. It was the best agua fresca I’ve had since I’ve been in Mexico, and it’s been 10 years! The tacos were delicious too. But that drink…!!! 10 out of 10! #mexico #lovewhereyoulive

As the fog rolled into the canyon yesterday afternoon. #beachlife #mexico

A thick fog came rolling into the canyon yesterday, reducing visibility to nothing. The beach was sunny when I left and gray and dark when I got home.

Yesterday was a misty afternoon along the banks of the estuary, and there were lots of egrets. #beachlife #mexico

Egrets hang out by the edge of the estuary, where the river meets the ocean.
