Eco-Touring on Magdelena Bay

Terah’s Journal from the tented camp on Magdelena Bay, Mexico February 12, 2008

We are where the lips of mountains kiss the sky and waves lick the sugar beach with lapping tongues. We are where the gray whales mate January through March in the glossy depths of these protected waters. Here, the land is seared on the white-hot grill of summer and cooled by the gentle hand of winter. We melt sunscreen on our skin by day and bundle up in warm clothing by night. Our needs are all well provided for, without running water, heat, or electricity, where stars pepper the sky and leave no tiny space unspiced with a dot of light.
