Palm Attack
Jan 24th, 2008 by Neena
After the elk…the palm trees of San Jose del Cabo attack our poor car. (Map this!)

Stalwart FJ bears another onslaught – from the palm trees. The damage was slight – some scratches on the hood. |
At the End of a Long Drive

We didn't make the decision, the decision made us. On October 20th, 2007, we left our comfortable city of San Francisco to follow a simple algorithm - go North till the road ends then turn around and then go as far South. In between those two points was the stage, the timeline, the space, where we made things happen and things happened to us.
The past is fleeting and the stories, the sights and the feelings are perishable. One sees what one wants to see, and perhaps we are not capable of more. We saw that people are kind and helpful even if they were not materially rich. Some we could understand even though we didn't speak the same language, the motivations of others were incomprehensible even though we did. In the end fragments remain - the smell of roasting chocolate, a flock of snow Ptarmigians on snow, the creaking of the rainforest, the rough feathers of penguins, and the intoxication of Curanto.
So these are our stories. Every time you visit the site you will see a random post below. Each starts with Lo que pasa es que...
awwww…poor FJ! A true Hanuman it is to you guys 🙂
Poor car is all scratched now. It’ll buff out…
So FJ has been attacked by a plant and by an animal so far. What is coming up next ? An inanimate object? Maybe a meteorite?
Wow, you’ve come a long way babies!! JJ
Carumba!
