The Road Again | Old (New) Kino Bay | Mexico

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Rio

Old Kino Bay doesn’t exist anymore. They have paved streets, parades and fancy hotels now. 

I was late for my friend Chino (although, in a way, I immortalize him, and the village is still there, in my book), but I met his daughter, F, and left her a signed copy of A Vagabond in Mexico. She was enthused. It was a pleasure to meet her. She has her own thriving business. Clemente is living in New Mexico. I think I’ll meet with A tomorrow; somebody told me he is still in town. B seems to be in Puerto Peñasco.

Mexico Bound | Traveling Light

Posted on November 17, 2013 by Rio

Thoughts: I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. I wonder if I’ll make it through the border in Nogales; I have nothing to declare at customs, so it should go smoothly. I am keeping my balance. My car needs some bodywork and I heard it can be done well in Mexico. My first stop is Old Kino Bay; I used to have friends there. I’ll keep you posted.

The Fence

The Fence! Are we a civilized country? Species? Do we need to evolve perhaps?

The Gray Fox | Tucson’s Eco Village

Posted on November 9, 2013 by Rio

Last Sunday after dusk, after visiting my power place at the Eco Village, I met a gray fox. It was dark, so I couldn’t see him well but it looked just like this:

I did not know about gray foxes in Arizona, so I googled “foxes in Tucson AZ” and found these gray foxes that looked just like the one that circled me three times. He did that, moving from bush to bush around me, as I walked while singing softly.

Jasmeine sent me this: http://wiccanmoonsong.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-magickal-fox-as-totem-animal.html  She thinks it is a positive omen. I think so too. What do you think?

I am ending a US journey at the Eco village, and will be heading to Mexico soon.

They are building new structures at the moment, and gaining access to precious water. More info at: Tucson Tortolita Eco Village – Home
