Bill standing proud under his shade providing grapes - good couchsurfing in Mulege
I managed to make a daring desert with the grape juice, a somewhat delicious disaster

hard times
Whilst serenly studying my sowing kit for a clue on what goes where, a volcano of freeze dried spaghetti bolognese erupted, and landed right on the sensitive part of my knee. Thanks Kyle!
A very apt sign signalling a checkpoint ahead
The guy who sold me these told me I would be so skinny by the time I reach Argentina, that i could simply fly home like a 'pelo' kite. These were gone in less than a day
biggest palm in the world
In true boxing fashion I spent two days here staring down my last big climb in Baja, the sierra gigantica. To the left lies the 100$ a night rooms and to the right on the lawn, under a tree, lies me.
From a distance some of the greenery looks like regular shrub, but EVERYTHING has super sharp prickly Thorns/needles
Literally off to greener pastures
