BAJA AMIGOS POEM
WRITTEN BY SANDY LIMAN
JANURARY 2024 IN BAJA
The thoughts began one stormy November
Let’s take a trip….that we’re sure to remember
But where should we go and how long should we stay
Baja, Mexico…..I thought right away
At first it seemed like a might big leap
We’re driving a 17 year old RV…..not a Jeep
Then off to the internet to see what’s available
And convince my wife that it would be just wonderful
At first it seemed impossible to do
Then Baja Amigos popped into view
All we have to do is follow our trusty guide
Baja will be possible with Freddie at our side
Let the planning begin…..so many things to buy
Amazon boxes piled knee high
Solar panels, fancy shorts, and a 5 gallon drum
Never knew shopping could be so much fun!
Off we went in a puff of blue smoke and the happy clatter of diesel chatter
The fact that we were over gross weight didn’t seem to matter
Baker City, Wells, Las Vegas, and Surprise all flash by in that order
And before we knew it we were at the border
With 7 in the convoy now….this should be a snap
I’ll cross the border while taking a nap
A few days later it dawned on me….I was more than just number three
There was 1 – 7 plus Freddie and Lolie’…a team now defined by our unity
“Gang, we’re rolling now gang” Freddie would say
Nothing to worry about ….he knows the best way
“Circle the wagons gang” ….all in solidarity
Settling in for the night we find security
So much fun on warm sunny beaches with wonder food and comradery
Creating good vibes and feelings of tranquility
Closing my eyes a vivid memory pops into view
The trip of my lifetime has come true!
Just one final thought as before we say “Adios Muchacos”
Remember, we will always be Baja Amigos
