Lake Chapala Bound

On the way to Chapala....we landed in Guaymas yesterday after a day of crossing the border in Nogales. Our travels so far have been pleasant, beautiful, with wonderful attention from my paisans, who have been nothing but gracious and helpful.

We arrived late in the day after driving through Hermosillo....a dry drop of people in the desert...and drove through to Guaymas. Hermosillo had grown like an ugly sister, bitter with industry and time. But Guaymas is just as I remember her; on the Sea of Cortez, wave lappingly seductive, gorgeous. We found a little colonial gem of a hotel....the Playa de Cortes...which was built by a railroad magnate in the early 1900's and today still stands as beautiful as when she was first created.

Note: Ive been seeing the world through architecture lately....books, films, locations....and know that this perspective will serve me well here....more on this later.

So for now, from Brad (who is snoozing on the water's edge with the sound of waves lullabying him to sleep) and I (having my morning coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice with a view of the bay) we wish you all a beautiful day.

xo,

Fco. y Brad,
