Baja Road Trip Book ~ A Quick Easy Read!

Ann Hazard is famous with Baja cruisers and Baja ex-pats for her cooking books, "Cooking With Baja Magic" and "Cooking With Baja Magic Dos", which both include wonderful recipes, information on the places and people the recipes come from and stories of her travels.

John found her novel, "Cartwheels in the Sand" up in the book exchange ~ a signed copy, no less...

If you have ever done a Baja road trip, this will remind you of your trip (except for the characters ~ the didn't remind me of anyone)!
The descriptions of the road, the views, the places, the restaurants, the Pemex stations, the people and the atmosphere are right on!

The story follows four women doing month-long road trip camping in a motorhome. If you can get past some of the crap the women discuss and the cattiness, it's a good, quick read that will "take you there".

So Mom, Bob and Nancy, if you are missing our "Baja Road Trips" we had SO much fun on... here ya go!

Books

Books - a huge part of living here (or cruising, which we aren't doing at the moment)...

There is a wonderful book exchange here in the marina, that I go wander into every day and sometimes twice or three times a day.
The turnover is amazing - new books every day!

Found this one yesterday and finished it this afternoon.Any travel books with humor interest me.
This writer went around the world by herself pretty much without the use of planes.
The book covers her trip from South Africa to departing Sudan and crossing into Egypt.
She has a webpage of her trip: www.MariesWorldTour.com (of course the trip was completed a few years back ~ sure wish I could have followed the website as she was doing this).

This is the second book I have recently read about Africa.
The other one had it's own type of humor...
I think it was humor.
It was actually pretty insane.
True story of a girl growing up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Malawi and Zambia in the late 60's and early 70's.
All five of us who sailed motored "Meerkat" down Baja read this book on the way down.Made us all appreciate our own childhoods...

Both really worth reading!

Also found some nutso Florida novels (but we may have already read these two...)Remember, Jim is gone, so I'm not doing much down here by myself!
