All Better

Yesterday's fishing adventure was not an entire bust...the menfolk each caught a fish. No marlin, but some tuna and an amberjack. The marine life was very interesting. Whales galore. A mother let us follow her and her calf about a mile or so...beautiful.

The other really cool thing was a school of porpoises that we intercepted. Make that a university. At least a thousand of them, and the water looked like it was boiling over the several-acre school. I wildly snapped pictures, and was not able to do it justice, so we will have to wait for Miss P to see if hers are any better. Not to worry, I will have a nice album on Flickr next week.

Oh, and the weather? 85 and sunny. I think there is a slight chance for a fluffy cloud to come by later. Today at home in Connecticut? 30 with a snow shower.

A Cure for Hot Flashes

When you are seasick, nothing else bothers you.

Cocktail Corner in Cabo

Well, it's not technically Cocktail Corner because Annie and Jules aren't here...But I am making the best of things with Miss K, Miss J and Miss P! Oh, and the menfolk, too. Squazz, Chief and Mav. The boys tend to busy themselves with golf so we can go about relaxing here at Villa Amanda.

Today was breezy, with multiple whale sightings. Now we are cocktailing here on the terrace overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Life is beautiful. Never fear, I will post plenty of pictures after we return next week.

Tomorrow we are going on a deep sea fishing adventure. Wish us luck.

This concoction is called Sassy Water. Cucumber and lemon slices, spearmint leaves and fresh grated ginger. You mix it all with water and let it marinate overnight. Then you drink it and waste away to nothing. Or maybe, just maybe be able to zip up fat jeans.

I'm wondering what it would taste like with a little rum.

P is also for Perspective

I made another alarming yet somehow comforting discovery this week. When your belly gets bigger? It makes your hips and thighs seem just a little bit smaller. Perspective, yeah baby. Got it.
