I have been home for a week, and I still haven't quite bounced back. It would seem that I have the Mexican Swine flu or something, or as Peter likes to call it: a cold with a very annoying cough. I thought I would post a few pics of the week that apparently did me in. I didn't get any pics of the ATV adventure that we did as a "team building activity." It was actually really fun to zip around on the beach, and someone (who will remain nameless) ended up rolling his bike, dislocated his shoulder, and had a lovely tour of the local hospital. It turns out he didn't need surgery, but his ego took a severe beating. There was also some amazing whale watching (which I have never seen before), some beach time, a bad round of golf on a beautiful course, too many margaritas, and a stage performance by yours truly that included a bad impression of Olivia Newton John. (see aforementioned margaritas)

An all too familiar pose.

My partner in crime, Erika. I don't know how I would survive these meetings without her.

We went out on a sunset cruise and got a glimpse of the signature landmark, El Arco, a natural stone arch at the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula. The arch marks the meeting of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.

Then it was time for some golf at
Cabo del Sol. Beautiful course. It's a shame I hacked my way through it.

Okay, so maybe I nailed it once or twice.

To close the trip, a full day was spent under the palapa on the beach. Gracias Alejandro!
