Well my friends, we are back to the great, dreary state we call Michigan. Weather was 90 and Sunny every day with a light wafting breeze coming from the Sea of Cortez. Didn't spend a lot of time doing much except trying to relax. Bar, chair, beach, bar, chair, pool, maybe a buffet worked in. Not Jimmy...Food.
Went downtown ....Spent my Birthday dinner at Mi Casa (eggcellent choice Senorita Kirsten). Food was awesome....I had the Sea Bass....Yes, it was angry. Jill pulled a bday trick and got the song, cake and clowns to come by the table. Then we went on to Cabo Wabo and drank the rest of the evening whilst listening to the band. Good times.....ask Jill about her Hurricane...Her memory faded after that point ;> 
Saturday was spent at Arch Rock and Playa del Armor (Lovers Beach). Really cool place, part of a National Reserve, but open to the public. We spent about 3 hours there, swimming in the ocean, laying out, etc. The water taxis were a bit suspect because of the rough surf. You basically have to jump on the boat as it noses into the sand, before the next wave comes through. Some dudes were on the opposite side (Pacific Side) boogie boarding in the surf. It was a little outrageous for me 10ft breaks on the waves, but not really good surfing. Rise was too fast and curl crashed really quick.Had a nice massage on Sunday. let me say this; Those people know how to relax you. I almost fell asleep twice and once could have sworn I was at the cottage on the porch. Heard the gentle whine of the jetski and the lapping of waves. A little background music in the distance. It was great.
Overall the trip was awesome. Didn't turn the TV on once. Had plenty to do, drink and eat. Flight home was a bit dicey around DFW. Thunderstorms caused some turbulance during landing and then leaving again. But overall, it was okay. Swine Flu was a non-event on the Western side of the country. Amazing how big of a deal it was for everyone up here.
More details to come when we see you, but we had fun. Missed the girls a lot, but we needed the break. Oh well, back to the grind. Try to lose the 5 lbs of weight I gained from all the "sodas" and food.
Yipeeee! Oh I am so glad you guys went to - and enjoyed - Mi Casa. Wasn't that place just HUGE and so colorful and fabulous? Altho, I could have done without the damned clowns. Who said clowns were authentic Mexican? And I do recall very strong drinks at Cabo Wabo! I should have had you go to Squid Roe, I have a feeling it would have been your kind of place. The Arch is very cool too...we have plenty of pictures of it as well. And I so enjoyed my massage there with the Sea of Cortez lapping at the shore nearby. SO glad you had a good time, and glad you guys did not come back oinking. BTW, a friend of mine thinks we should rename it "Carnitas Sniffles"...cuz it just sounds nicer. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!
