Now that you mention it, I have to agree. You find in SoCal better water
color, nicer surfing waves, lots more of wildlife, excellent paddlers and
unsurpassable friends. That is why I joined CKF org.

Veracruz on the other hand is a more folkloric place. People live in very
much unfinished cottages and keep practices of 50 years back, but the
atmosphere, the folk dances and music and marimba, the food, the northern
winds, the friendliness of people, the archeological sites, etc give a
special flavor that, to my mind, compensates for the underdevelopment.

I love to go to San Diego and the OC and Sta Barbara. I love the Sea of
Cortis, I love Veracruz and love also Cancun and the Mayan Coast. There is
its charm in Corpus with its always running surfable waves in the Bay, and I
love the Bayous in Louisiana, with its own French influence and fantastic
folklore and food. I am not that fond of the Seattle area because water is
always too cold there for my taste, even though I have good friends and my
teacher there.

Please don't ask me why I live in Queretaro, and to my own relief, I have a
little hut full of kayaks in the little lake 15 minutes away, following the
question "which is the best paddling lake?" the closest.

Best Regards,

Rafael
