Home from Mexico to Snow










We had a great trip to Puerto Penasco. The week was quiet. We went into town for dinner on Tuesday and there were not many gringos there. It was very pleasant and we had a nice dinner of shrimp at The Point and watched the sunset.

Friday a storm came through with high winds. It was tough playing golf with 30-40 mph winds. Then that night it blew harder and rained. The high tide took sand over some of the fairways on the golf course. The golf course was tough. I didn't break 100 all week, but I got lots of practice out of the sand. Sometimes out of one trap to another trap. Plus the rough is one big sandtrap.
We had fun with the little kids, thank goodness they had an indoor pool with the temps in the low 70's. The little girls really did love the water. Over all we had a fun trip and were completely safe. Mexico is really taking a hit on its tourism. Great time to travel there now.

Sunny in Puerto Penasco





We/re Having fun in Mexico. Today was a nice day, in the high 70’s. The boys played golf on the Peninsula de Cortes course here at the Mayan Palace. There are 100 sand traps and one lake. Plus if you hit off of the fairways, the rough is like one big sand trap. There is also on lake. I hit two in the lake off the tee, and Drew hit three in the water and took a 12 on the hole.


The kids have had lots of fun in the water. The indoor pool was hot today and the kids loved it. The outdoor pools are cold. The beach is huge. Tonight we watched the sunset and walked all the way out thru the tidal basins. We found starfish and conch shells.


It has been fun and I'll post more with other pictures later.
