Hello!

I fly home today. It's time. It's been a wild ride and I loved every minute of it. Ok.. so I didn't care much for the humidity. The heat is ok.. the humidity sucks. My hair is a curly mess. It gets so curly when I'm in Mexico.

Today I'm off by myself to explore. I'm looking forward to that. My Sister and Steve are off on a "Gig" at a resort. Meaning, they are going to go to a time share for $400.00 us to tour the time share. My sister is a prefessional at this and gets out of it every time. Oh they are mad.. but she always gets what she's promised. She's teaching Steve today how to do it. I can't stand it. Makes me too uncomfortable, so I opted not to go. Not even for the free breaksfast.

Last night we went to dinner at a place called Munchkins. Oh my goodness the food was good! You can get an entire slab of pork ribs, corn on the cob and the most wonderful coleslaw.. oh. and it's all you can eat on the ribs for $13.00!! Lord those were tastey. I had the Quesedilla. Not like at home. These are like soft tacos and so delicous and those were 9.00 bucks. T-bone steak is 13.00 as well. Odd on the prices. Chicken costs more than beef or pork.

We then went to this "Saloon". My Sister and Allen are friends with the owner Mike....American who lives here now..obviously. He took a shine to me and wanted to take me out last night... I found him offensive and disgusting. I was told that I should have gone out with him, he would have treated me well and he's loaded with cash and he's a great person to network with if I wanted to live down here. Well I don't want to live down here and I don't care how much money he has... he was a pig. :-) Needless to say... I didn't go with him. We, instead, came back to their place and sat out on the beach. Some guy walked by smoking a cuban cigar and told us where to buy them. Thats on the agenda today. (Steve needs them for a friend of his)
We ended up sitting on the beach until 1AM. It sure didn't seem like it was that late.

Not much went on yesterday other than what I already blogged about.
The view from their balcony is FABULOUS! A picture doesn't do it justice. It needs to be a panoramic lens which I don't have.

Thanks to those of you who have followed this blog. I apologize that there are no pictures. I will have to upload them when I get home. I was limited by my 256 meg card on my camera. We were flying through the baja at 100 miles an hour trying to get here as quickly as possible. I wasn't able to get many pictures. That drive could have easiy taken 7 days if we stopped for photos. My goodness the beauty I've seen. Awesome! It was frustrating me that I couldn't really capture on film the awesome beauty I've seen. What the camera captures is crap!

If all goes well, I will be landing in Portland tonight around 11:00 PM. My daughter will pick us up. I'm just worn out..in a good way. I'm glad I have tomorrow off to recouperate. hehe

Bye Amigos and Amigas!
