Tesoros de Baja, Mexico

IMG_5939

Just back from a wonderful trip to Baja, where we split our time between the area's capital, La Paz and the charming surfer town of Todos Santos. The trip was inspired on so many levels and, as always after visiting Mexico, I feel a restored sense of peace and happiness. We hiked to hidden beaches, visited a weaving studio, feasted on freshly caught fish and shopped for locally made goods (we also filmed a travel webisode!). Behold our colorful treasures...

Woa those are some amazingly beautiful dishes you picked out! I live in the L.A. area, do you have a favorite Mexican restaurant? My husband and I are celebrating our 9 year wedding anniversary and we'd love a well recommended restaurant to enjoy on that day. Thx!

Que hermoso tesoros! Happy to see you made it to Todos Santos which is such a magical spot, it treated me well this past summer. Did you happen to make it to the dulcerias just outside of there? That is rad spot.
