Baja

Right now I am contemplating a trip to Baja after I finish reviewing the manuscript and running a half marathon. It's a stupid thing to do on a number of counts. First, it is going to cost too much, even if I drive and stay in cheap hotels. Second, it is dangerous, especially because I will be driving down alone. Not only are there crazy drivers on the road, but as anyone who reads the news knows, there is a lot of drug crime in Mexico, not to mention the hassle from police at all the checkpoints. Finally, a three week trip I am contemplating will completely eliminate the modicum of physical conditioning I have build up. But since it is stupid, I will probably do it.
