Just Another Day in Paradise...


It's Siesta time for the Mom's here in Cabo, so thought I would try out the wireless connection and it works just fine - yay! It is a lovely 92 degrees today and spent most of the day on the beach - ran this morning, but quickly realized that it is very very difficult to run in 6" of powdery sand, so walked most of my 5km. Tomorrow will stick to the sidewalk and run into the little town that's a couple of kilometers from here. This is the view I am looking at as I am writing this - surrounded by palm trees and Bougenvilla (spelling?). Usually only see it for planter pots, but here, it is used as hedging. I want to be a gardener is at least a zone 8 before I die...

We are headed to Todos Santos on Thursday for the day - have hired a driver. It is an artsy town just north of here where the Eagles' infamous Hotel California is rumored to reside. None of us have been there, but heard fabulous things about it, so should get a really good chance to see some local artisans.

I was in Seattle on Friday and they have also had a very harsh winter. Their snow stuck around much longer than it ever has, so we weren't the only ones! Right now, the trees are out in bloom - the flowering Plums, apple trees, and the Rhodos are all out. The Tulip festival is on just North of Seattle in Skagit Valley, so we hope to go and see it on Sunday when we are back from Mexico - we drove out there on Friday, but just the daffodils were out, so hopefully a few nice days of sun will bring everything to life!

Well I better finish my Corona and Almonds and head back down to the pool for one last bit of sunshine! Cheers....
