Convalescing in Cabo

We are on vacation in Mexico where it's always sketchy whether there will be Internet ...or electricity.  However, you can always count on plenty of Margaritas and Medical Marijuana...  There is a current 'Spring Breakers Special' in town which includes 3 meals and 15 drinks per day. 15! If you want more, it will cost you! The day we arrived some friends were leaving and asked Steve to stop by their condo and get their leftovers.  I asked if he got any breakfast food.  Steve laughed, "Just water, beer and gin!"  Ah, Mexico!

In perfect sobriety (Really!) I have tripped or stumbled several times:  pipes sticking up randomly from broken sidewalks, missing sidewalks, holes in streets, pipes sticking up from holes in streets... (Lawyers in the U.S. LOVE this stuff)  The best one was when I was getting up from a toilet and the whole thing tipped over sideways!  Since the floor stayed dry, Steve said they must have accordion-fold plumbing.  Lauren said IF I had broken my wrist AGAIN that a toilet tipping over in Mexico would have made for a pretty good story.
The food down here has been fantastic but none better than when Steve and Lauren caught our dinner while shallow sea fishing for red snapper and sierra mackerel. The ex-Texan owner of the fishing boat says he has spent his entire adult life in Mexico.  He says he will never be rich, but loves Cabo, the people, the weather and "you cannot ask for a better lifestyle!"  Ah, Mexico!

Thanks for reading!  Tiene una buena semana!
