Cabo San Lucas—Friday 11/29

November 29, 2019

After the diving commenced on Friday afternoon, we ventured into town for lunch. I guess technically we’re in town, but we seem to be a few blocks away from any sort of food places.

After picking up Kristen’s credit card from the night before (too drunk to remember to take it after paying apparently), we found a place that looked good.

I planned on ordering the chicken quesadillas, but out of fear of getting burned out on Mexican food so early into the trip, I went with the special instead. Well, I was going to go with the red snapper special, but the waiter really talked up the bacon-wrapped tuna special and said I can “get red snapper anywhere” so I trusted him despite my apprehension toward seared fish. He was right. It took me a few bites to get past the rawness of it, but with the bacon and the dipping sauce it came with, it was very delicious.

Cabo San Lucas—Thursday 11/28 (Thanksgiving)

November 29, 2019

It’s been quite a while since going on a dive adventure, but here I am. I was on the fence about posting about this trip at all. I don’t blog too often these days, and certain life changes not only have me down, but give this trip a particular emotional struggle of its own.

A strong desire to leave the country this holiday season led me, Kristen, and Curtis to Cabo San Lucas, a town in Los Cobos, located on the southern tip of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It’s my first time both in this area of Mexico and diving in the Pacific. Both of these are firsts to be thankful for, which is appropriate as we flew out on Thanksgiving day.

MN STATE FAIR – 8/23/18

August 24, 2018

Like the true MN State Fairgoers we are, Nick, Whitney, Kristen, Curtis (!!!), and I kicked on the season on Day 1. Traffic nearing the fairgrounds became a backed up nightmare. Previous experience has taught us to abort Mission Park-at-the-Fair and find the nearest free Park and Ride. The first one we drove by had a mile long line of people waiting to get on a bus, so we kept driving. Whitney led us to a suspiciously empty P&R, and after some googling we came to the conclusion that it operated on weekends and Labor Day only. Seriously, they need better signage on site. A handful of us left, but some stubborn people stayed back and waited for a shuttle that would never come.

Mexico, Parte Tres

January 17, 2018

So apparently when all you do is wake up, eat, sit by the beach/pool, eat, go back to the beach/pool, eat, and go to bed, there isn’t much to blog about. That and blogging from my iPad really wasn’t as easy and convenient as I thought it would be.

So let me sum up the rest of my vacation in one short and sweet post

Mexico, Parte Dos (Feliz Navidad!)

December 26, 2017

Celebrating Christmas in Mexico was a wonderful thing. First, no snow. Second, temps back home were an all time low of sub zero. Third, no commuting in snow and sub zero tempuratures. Decorations here were really subdued. There were some Christmas tree cutouts standing around that I wouldn’t have noticed had people not pointed them out. Staff in Santa hats for the three days we’ve been here were the only obvious clue that it was Christmastime.Read More →
