Synopsis:
In the early 1970s, Mike Humfreville and his wife Mary Ann left their surburban home and their jobs at NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena and headed to Baja California s Bahia de los Angeles. Living in a tiny hut they constructed on a remote beach, they bonded with each and the special place they d found. In 1985 they did it again, taking their boys, aged 6 and 8, and living in another beachside hut on the shore of the bay. The family s experiences are related in simple but evocative prose by author Mike Humfreville, who had spent years traveling in Baja California, and reads like a modern-day castaway story full of adventure and struggle, but with the warmth and humor of a loving family working together on a shared dream.
About the Author: Mike Humfreville practically grew up traveling in Baja California, and spent his 20s on various journeys via car, truck and bus, plus hitch-hiking the peninsula. Recently retired from NASA s Jet Propulsion Lab, his voice is heard on many Baja websites and chat rooms, where his writings have been enjoyed worldwide.
