Thanks Dave for your love, your trust, your playfulness, your adventurous spirit, your wisdom, your patience and your gentleness.
This birthday was so sweet. And the sun came out right on time. Thank you to my friends, my landmates and my ocean community for making this a special day.

๐ต Baja California ~ Part 2
๐ซถ The German girl I met the very first night at the hostel ended up being my companion for the entire trip. We rented a car together and went exploring the East cape. The slow dirt road, the donkeys and cows everywhere, the wild beaches and the whales dancing on the horizon. We stayed at the Baja Station @thebajastation which is an incredible beach camp in La Fortuna with accommodations, concerts, workshops, food and equipment rentals. Their tiny houses are comfy, lovely and offer ocean views! Love falling asleep to the sound of the waves. It was so special to live there for a few days, camp on the beach and get to know the community.
๐ Thanks Giovanni, Justin, Matt and the Baja Station for the warm memories!
