The Adventures of Familia Bajaboy

  As a dog, I think I have it very good. I have owners who love me, friends who play with me, and a bountiful amount of bunnies. My name is Zeus and I live in Bahia Asuncion. Almost every day my family takes me running. It is a good time to exercise, and it lets me continue my ever going hunt for the rabbits. So as always, when I hear my momma say, “Zeus, are you ready?!” I know it is time to go.           As we get on the trail, I see my friends Pedro, Alexander, Nick all sitting all alone. If only they had owners as good as mine, I thought. Oh well. The early dog catches the bunnies. I did not have time to worry. As I went up to the water tower, a lizard thought it would be funny to walk in front of me, taunting me by standing just out of my reach.  But when I tried to show that lizard who's boss, Mummy chokes me. Rude, I thought.            Then I got lectured about how I can’t pull that junk, just get to letting me off I thought, and they did. I was running at a good pace,

  Hello, it’s Mika here, and I want to talk about how my school has been and life in general. For school, my electives are art, soccer and cooking. First of all, for art, I have done some cool projects. For example, just this week I painted a picture for my neighbor of a fish for his birthday. Also, I made I couple of other drawings. Next, for soccer, my dad made a goal on one of our walls with chalk. Every Tuesday and Thursday I go and practice soccer. I learned a cool trick this week. Now for cooking, I have made a lot of different things from: eggs, brownies, fudge with my brother, and much more. Just this week me and Gabriel make our neighbors a birthday cake. I would say we did pretty good for our first cake! Now, I want to talk about my math, reading, writing and science. For math I do a program called Khan Academy. So far, in just a couple weeks, I have got 39% mastery in 6th grade math. I do Khan Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Now let’s talk about reading. Before school star

 This morning we ran one of my favorite routes nearby.  From our house, we head west towards the beach and run north about 3 miles.  Then we go up to Family Mountain.  Years ago, we found a natural pile of rocks on top of this mountain.  We started a tradition of placing a rock on the pile to commemorate a special person or memory.  Over the years the rock pile has grown.  From there we return south along the ridgeline and return along the Backbone trail behind our house and village.  The route is just under 7 miles with about 1600 ft. of elevation gain.  I hope you enjoy! Running along Long Beach Looking back towards Bahia Asuncion, Baja California Sur, Mexico San Roque is in the distance. Starting the climb up Family Mountain.  Boogie Board beach and the horse race track in the distance. The Family Mountain memorial.  So many great memories there! Running the ridgeline with Family Mountain in the distance. San Roque Island in the distance and Tracy hammering a fun section of the trai

 Come join us on our hike today.  One of the things we have always enjoyed about Bahia Asuncion is the variety of things to see and explore.  The coast line changes dramatically from north to south with the former resembling the coast of Central California while the later is very similar to Southern California.  The desert also changes from mile to mile as well.   Our hike this morning started about 5 miles east of town.  I hope you enjoy!

 Almost every day, we get out for a run, hike, bike ride and/or a swim.  Today, we opted to get an earlier start than normal.  We set the alarm for 6am and were out the door by 7am.  We drove 8 miles north to the small fishing village of San Roque.  We hiked north to San Pablo bay and then backtracked on the old and dilapidated vigilancia road and finally returned on the main .   Zeus was happy with the foggy conditions especially after yesterday's muggy and hot conditions. In addition we were treated to a wonderful show of powerful and strong waves thanks to Hurricane Olaf.  All in all, the hike was about 7.5 miles and almost 2,000 ft. of climbing.  Enjoy the trip with us!
