As the day begins to brighten from a morning snow squall, I'm eating a big brunch that Dave so graciously prepared at my request. I find myself day dreaming of Mexico. Warm, sunny, delicious Mexico.Over spring break, 12 of us enjoyed just the place - Cabo Pulmo on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. Although our flight into Cabo San Lucas was a bit depressing as the airport was filled with college aged spring breakers and ritzy golfers, we knew we would soon escape the madness.

After a long trip to the MEGA (gringo grocery store) for supplies, we all piled into our respective rental cars and drove 90 miles to Cabo Pulmo (of which the last 10 miles or so are dirt road...already we were feeling at home). At last arriving at Baja Bungalow's.

The mix of locals seemed to be almost equal Natives and Expats (many of which were originally from Colorado). The pace was perfectly slow. Fish caught on a deep sea fishing trip was eaten all week, fresh fruit smoothies for breakfast, avacados avocados avocados... and of course, a healthy serving of tequila and Mexican beer.

On recommendation from the bunagalows' owner, Kent, half of us took a trip about 1 hour inland to a hot spring near Santiago. The directions read like those we encounter often on the Rez (turn left at the 3rd dirt road, turn right just past the crooked tree, go over 2 cattle guards... etc) and as usual, this type of adventure always ends up being the best kind. The owner of the land the spring was on guided us to the hot and cold springs, then left us alone to play the day away. He had a homestead on a little plot of land with huge shade trees, livestock and an amazing garden. Life was good.

We made some new friends and caught up with old friends we don't see nearly enough.

Before we knew it the week was over and we headed back to the zoo of the airport and a delayed flight in Dallas due to a snowstorm. Welcome back to reality!
