Happy New Year! It’s a New Year and a new decade on the shores of the Sea of Cortez! May 2020 be filled with warmth, health, music, adventure, fun, exploration, and lots of new experiences for all! We hope you still have your “running shoes” on, as the holiday marathon Lupe-Reyes isn’t over (Dec 12 – Jan 6), as can be appreciated with the colorful Kings’ cakes lining the counters at local bakeries.
