Where I'd rather be

Spring has still not sprung here in the Northeast, so as I stretch my virtual legs to do some virtual traveling, I naturally seek out warmer climes. Today, I find myself kayaking the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, the arid landscape of Mexico's Baja peninsula providing a counterpoint to the 32-degree weather outside my door.

I hope, within the next year or two, to paddle those waters for real, and explore more of Baja California's 1,000-mile desert playground.
