 Good morning, Mira. Good morning. Oh, you're waiting for something, aren't you? This. You want this? You want this? Yeah, you're excited? Go get it! How you feeling this morning, Ombré? I'm doing pretty good, actually. Nice sleep. Yeah, nice sounds in the morning. You know, the frogs and wind in the palm. So, yeah, ready for another day on the Baja. That's right. The frogs are very cool. Usually you don't hear frogs when you're camping out in the desert, but because of this oasis, there was lots of aquatic creatures making noises all night long. Okay, we'll throw one more. One more, one more, one more. Okay, okay, okay. You're bouncy this morning. Yes. Our first stop of the day is only a few hundred meters away from where we slept. We're gonna have breakfast at a nice lady's house who actually fed us dinner last night. And dinner and breakfast a lot of times in Mexico looks very similar. We're gonna have tortillas, and beans, and eggs. And I love it no matter what time of day it is. How many tortillas have you made in your life? A lot of tortillas. But look at how my hands are. Oh, look. For the tortillas? For the tortillas? Really? Yeah. Oh, don't eat this tortilla. No. Are you going to eat it by hand? It's something special in Mexico. All right, amigo, ¿Cómo estás? Bien, dile papi, bien, dile. That's a soft yolk, that's. Handmade tortillas and eggs and beans, yes. This is my happy place. This is our happy place. That's right, buddy, make your magic burrito. A little bit of fresh goat cheese. Oh, yeah. We got a happy Canadian. We do have a happy Canadian. Bye-bye, bye-bye. Vamos a regresar algún día. Así es. This mission seems a lot more rustic than the other ones I've seen in Baja. Exposed brick and much smaller as well. It's kind of funny to have a picture of Pope John Paul in here. That was a while ago. He always had a nice smile. There's a sign here. It's even in English, so I'll read it to you. The first site where this mission was founded was explored in December 1684. This building that can be seen was an annex which probably was used as a residence for the first missionaries that opened this California land to evangelization. What are they as? Wow, that's a little one. Yeah, you were close to him. Going up. Just to give you an idea of how steep this is. We climbed up pretty high in just a short amount of time. Look, racing down this downhill, I saw this stick in the way. And I was like, oh, that's not a stick. There's a snake. Wow, what is this? Look at this beautiful snake. Ah, it's a fast darn it. I was hoping to give you more of a look. I've never seen a snake like that. It looked like a garter snake, but much more tan. It was cool. It was out having a nice little morning sun until we came bumbling along. Here we are. This went down a raging road just really long and really fast. But nothing's free in Baja because you have to go back up. And I was just looking out this way and way out there you can kind of make it out. We're going back up pretty much the same grade we came down. John's going to head up first. The sacrificial lamb up the giant mountain. I'm going to sit down here and drone it. It's my turn. Oh boy. Look how beautiful it is. All you got to think is how pretty this is. It takes away a little bit of the pain. Just a little bit. Shadow, how we doing? Come on buddy, you got it. Hey Abumera, thanks for being here for me. Get me to the top. Let's go. We're close. Oh god that felt so good. I mean, getting here is good. Thanks for being there to cheer me on bud. You want to play stick? Yeah, go get it. More than anything, I'm blinded from the sweat in my eyeballs. High five bud, good job. That was awesome. You got a high five too. You got a high five, huh? We're riding by this little ruin here and I thought at first it was an old mission but it's probably a storage for grain. Look at this little door here. Hello. Can you imagine the work it would take to build something like this? Just back breaking work. Look at that. We got ourselves a wet Canadian. Oh yeah, that is cold baby, that is nice. Feels good doesn't it? You ready bud? I know it feels good doesn't it? I don't want to leave either. That is the face of bliss right there. Thank you water, rejuvenation. This is a very nice town. You can tell that there is some tourism here, there's some money and the mission is just stunning. So nothing lasts forever and it's time to say goodbye to our new friends. Oh I know, you're trying to give me a high five. High five, I'm going to miss you buddy, I'm going to miss you so much. I really appreciate everything man, it was really fun to have your company for the past week. Yeah likewise, yeah it's been great. You know it's really nice when you just happen upon a person on the same route and you can kind of... And we're riding the same speed and we can talk all day and it's been really... Yeah we share some similar interests. And you're a fast rider, I mean it's really been wonderful all around. I appreciate everything and I love how life works and I love how life put us together. Yeah that's been great. I know I'm going to see you down the road somewhere. At some adventure or something. He's going to continue riding his bike around the world. So I'll link to all of his information down below but you're going to want to follow. Mira la perra! And yeah dude, thank you so much. One abrazo fuerte, oh that was awesome. And now I have a new friend in Canada, yeah. And you are so special, you are so special. Can I get one more hug? Can I get one more Mira hug? She just likes to tuck in this morning. She was tucking in real good. And the reason why we're saying goodbye, I didn't even say that. He's going to stay here, I'm continuing on. You know, that's just how the world works sometimes. People come in and out of your life, you don't know how long it's going to last but we definitely made the most. Just for the long afternoon into the evening, maybe I'll stay here. Yeah. We made the most of it, didn't we? Made the most of our time, didn't we bud? Yeah, it's been a real pleasure. She's going to miss you. Where's Ryan? Where's Ryan? Where's the dude? Where's the dozer? Bye Mira, bye John! It's amazing how quickly you can become comfortable with somebody and it feels like I've known John and Mira much longer than the six days we rode together. Really good people. I am so fortunate that they came into my life. Sorry for scaring you. Mira, where are you? I need my cheerleader, I need my hug. Hello cows. I'm out camping right here on the sand. I've been riding, riding, riding, the sun's going down and look what I found, yes! Oh baby. It's going to be cold. La vida es maravillosa. That's pretty special. That is pretty special. Gracias baja! You know who would really like this camp? Mira would love this camp, for sure. I'm so thankful I met them, I really am and I really admire their relationship. It is incredible, it's like nothing I've seen before as far as man and dog. They've been traveling for three months since candidate together every single day and it's really charming to see them interact with one another. You can tell there's really, there's a lot of love there and I've never wanted a dog, my excuse has always been oh I travel too much to have a dog, but there you go. John has a dog and he just travels with it and man that dog has a lot of love. Whenever I stopped on my bike it would jump up and say hi and at night time it would come over and snuggle with me and in the mornings it would come over and wake me up and yeah, those two were very, very cool and I'm glad that our paths crossed on this adventure. If I ever get a dog I want it to be exactly like Mira. Strong, athletic and playful. I haven't felt that connected to a dog in a long time and Mira taught me a lot in the six days we were together. She really did. She taught me about just whatever, always be happy. It doesn't matter what the terrain is if it's up or down or rockier sandy, it doesn't matter, just keep going with your tongue hanging out smiling and it'll be over soon and then when you get done with it throw a stick and have some fun and here I am alone again and this really is what I wanted out of this adventure. I wanted to come out here and spend some alone time in the desert and really just be with my thoughts and think and plan for the future and get excited about what's down the road, put some intentions into the world about what I want with projects and work and relationships and family and everything and here we go one week into this adventure and it's already been so rich and so full and I'm excited for what's to come. I'm feeling very, very thankful right now very, very thankful and as the sun goes down you know what I gotta do little shout out to Johnny looking about you guys I love you life man life just keeps on getting better and I really appreciate that and as I was riding this afternoon I was thinking about all the things I'm grateful for that life has taught me it's presented me with so many beautiful experiences both very difficult and just pure joy and I think you have to really you know go through the difficult moments to appreciate the joyous ones and I'm very grateful that I get to walk on this planet and bike on this planet and have a body that's strong enough to take me around and show me new things.
