notes from baja – la candelaria 2
little town – Ramundo and Lorena’s place – lush, fertile, beautiful in the long shadows of afternoon. Gardens, makeshift little corrals, huge mango tree, papayas, pottery, funny outhouse, large expansive porch, herbs, pots and pots of kalanchoe, cherry tomatoes, grapefruit (we shared one).

Letting this sink in
Trying to let this sink in
Try to let it touch you
No shrine but paradise
Man carries bundled palms
Buzzards roost in trees
Sunset, moon rise
They saw wild boar along the road at night hurtling down the mountain
and, arrested by a horseman messenger, met Lorena there
