In January, we flew to San Diego to spend time with Danielle. She had arranged for us to travel La Paz, Mexico, which turned out to be a wonderful way to reinforce our increasingly positive impressions of Mexico. She is only 20 minutes from the border and flights from San Diego to La Paz were very expensive. So we Lyft-ed to the border and walked across a bridge that went directly into the Tijuana airport. From there it was a 2 hour flight south to La Paz which is near the tip of Baja California Sur.

Danielle texted us before the trip and asked if we would be comfortable swimming with whale sharks and sea lions. John replied with a question: “what do they eat?”. Danielle’s response was: whale sharks are vegetarians, not sure about sea lions”. We did it anyway and it was fun.
