The picture to the left is
the International Border Crossing into Mexico at San Ysidro,
California. It is touted as the busiest border crossing in the
world.
The Map below on the right
represents the Baja Peninsula. There are two different states on
the Baja Peninsula:
Baja California Norte, and Baja California Sur are clearly
shown. You can read the names of some of the cities and towns.
Most of the action in Baja Diaries takes place in the beach
communities about 10 miles south of Ensenada proper.


These communities are known
as Punta Banda and Punta Estero and are made up of a number of
camps (campos) where Americans reside.
The more popular of the
beach camps are located on an eight mile stretch of beach known
to the residents as the "Sand Spit."
Some of the beach Camps are
Fisher Camp, Villarino Camp and a part of La Jolla Camp which
fronts on the Ocean. There are also several camps which are
designated by numbers and not names.
The "Baja Beach and Tennis
Club" was a world unto itself, located on the northern part of
the "Sand Spit." Some of the homes were valued at nearly a
million dollars.
These are the settings for
the various dramas and tragedies which are chronicled in "Baja
Diaries..."

Entering Ensenada, after the last Toll Booth. On our first
visit, I increased my speed after paying the toll only to find
out that there was no more Toll Road. That wasn't a bad thing
because I was glad that we had arrived.

A New website has been created as a
gathering place for the American and Canadian
expatriates in Mexico. It's a place to gather and share
common problems and concerns. It's a Social Network with
the functionality of "My Space" and "Facebook" It's
worth joining.
