Giovanni Luigi Reda recently moved in across the hall from us. Not only has he provided hours of comic relief to our lives in the past several weeks, but he’s greatly reduced our daily coffee expense. Recognize this cup? It was featured in Reda’s video part this past weekend on The Berrics. I figured since he’s plotting to steal my SOTY trophy, that I’d strike first! Coffee at Reda’s 8am sharp. Mug not included.

Below is a photo essay of a 1 day trip I recently took with my good friends Adam Harteau and Ruben Frausto to Baja.

Contemplating dropping into this bowl in Ensenada.

Adam and Ruben sample the local fare at a taco stand in Ensenada.

We spotted this snake in the middle of the road.

Agitated, coiled and ready to strike.


This is the view from the front porch of the house we stayed in.

Adam stakes his claim on some acreage to build his shipping container dream home.

Ruben shows Adam the promise land.


Sample of the plant life in Baja.



Adam prays for surf.

Adam requests another shot of Cazadores.


Random rock formation.

These are the trucks of two separate groups of mussel farmers.

Fernando makes us some instant coffee.

The sun sets on day one.
Oh! the fine line between love and hate…Jake, I love you like a brother!
