I was sorting through some old photos the other day and came across a few classics. This one I don’t remember even having seen before (though I must have). Taken on a 2002 road trip through Baja with Caddie, Steve Selwood, and Dan Shivone. We were a couple hours and about a case into our drive out to Laguna San Ignacio. The whale-watching outfitters wanted to charge over $100/each to cart us from the town of San Ignacio to the lagoon. Instead we elected to drive ourselves out in our rented Dodge Stratus on the sometimes-awful road. We were generally moving slowly enough that if you needed a bathroom break you’d just open the door and get out. Somewhere Caddie has classic video footage of the whole trip…

Cad and I just spent a few days in Sayulita, nailing down details and surfing as much as possible. Joining us were Cad’s sister Liz and her two boys, Barret and Owen. While in town we took one for the team and tried as many restaurants and bars as we could. Favorites included margaritas at Lupe (and dinner too!), fish sandwich at Don Pedro’s, and the huevos rancheros at El Espresso. Buddha Bar has a great thing going at night, at least those nights they skip the live music. I’d say the overall favorite was Bar Playa…hard to beat a bar on the beach that looks like something out of Gilligan’s Island, but with great margaritas and a better soundtrack.

Cad isn’t telling anybody, but the featurette documentaries she produced and directed for “Viva Pedro” are getting rave reviews:

“Terrific” – Entertainment Weekly
“Three excellent featurettes are included as well: ‘Experiencing Almodovar,’ ‘Viva Pedro’ and ‘Deconstructing Pedro.’” – Washington Post
