Dora decides to explore some other place

We dodged another bullet.

Hurricane Dora, which sounded like it was about to unleash a torrent on the tip of The Baja last week, dissipated, leaving us with nothing more than big surf for a couple of days and a pile of humidity.

We knew, coming down here, that we would be in the hurricane zone. But, there is no place on the globe where you can escape natural disasters. Either its hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, drought or whatever else Mother Nature decides to dish your way.

But, it was interesting as we got our closest look yet at hurricane effects.

We saw a lot of thick clouds, some very heavy surf with 10- to 12-foot breakers crashing the beach near the shoreline.
