“How-la?,” she said, with the standard-issue grab bag of tells that lets everyone within a half-kilometer radius know that this person is here on vacation, staying at an all-inclusive resort, and sobered up enough to realize they’ve suddenly found themselves outside said resort…in MEXICO.  She was standing there, like a red and white striped zebra, […]

Mexican Men Are Incurable Romantics

Also, horny as fuck. I don’t know if it’s the light eyes, the guera status, the crazy color hair, the tattoos, the fact that I’m a girl who also works on engines and goes up masts and rescues boats, or simply the part where I’m a female in the near vicinity…but they are relentless in […]

Throwback Thursday: Couple of years ago-ish

  Pretty sure my brother Chad took this picture

So, Like, This One Time I Died?

It begins with a flag check, because should you start off on such a journey without enough breeze to at […]

Burros–Nearby Mexican Surf Spot With A Sprinkling Of Bikinis

We went to Burros the other day, a little surf spot not too far from La Cruz, and had a blast. It was my first time there. I can’t wait to go back. With a better camera. I reached down to pick up a big piece of shed bark and right before my fingers made […]
