Dana Point, Baja Sur, Kansas City

Arrived in LAX and had to hang around for Katie to arrive. Snow and planes don't generally compliment each other well, so she was delayed for a while. Duce, picked us up in the Bronco, a car that he managed to get for a case of beer. Nonetherless, a quality vehicle it was.





Headed down to Dana Point, just South of Laguna Beach in Cali. Managed to sneak in an In-N-Out Burger - Made from fresh ingredients and hand cut potatos. Caught the sunset and watched some waves down on the beach before retiring to the couch for a good chat over a some PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon for everyone other than Marti).

Thursday we headed to LA via Hermosa Beach. Had some Lunch at a place called Sharkeez. Fish Tacos = heaven.



Headed off to Jerad's house after that before TURTLE racing. What a joll.

So hundreds of people rock up at Brenners Bar in LA for the big event. There is a green mat on the floor, about 4 X 4 meters with a small circle in the center and a large circle on the edges. People line up to choose their turtle, $5 a pop. Four turtle at a time get put in the middle and they race to the edges. Classic.

Hung out in Dana Point till sunday. visited Newport Beach and a couple of other spots.

Flew to Mexico on Sunday with Katie. Arrived in Cabo and decided to rent a car for a couple of days. Drove that afternoon to La Ventana, South West of La Paz, andchecked into Captain Kirks.

La ventana is Kite surfing heaven. huge bay with a constant Norte (Northerly) wind. Kiters and Windsurfers from all over come to this spot.
Captain Kirks is an awesome spot and we had a great little casita. Spent on day cruising around La Paz and getting some provisions, and spent the other three Kayaking, Stand Paddle Boarding, and enjoying the sun and the local beverages. We played backgammon nightly as the sun want down and had some great catch up time.

We left La Ventana and headed to Cabo San Lucas. Basically USA in mexico. Was fun there though, watched some great live music and did some snorkeling. It is quite an exciting town. Was busy for the easter weekend with a whole lot of americans.

Flew back to the States on Sunday and Katie and I parted ways in Denver airport. :(
I continued to Kansas City and she continued to Aspen!

Landed in Kansas late on Sunday night and Nic Grivanis picked me up.. Spent the first day in kansas taking it easy whilst Nic was at School.
Had a couple of cold beers and braais in the evenings I was there. met a great bunch of guys from all over. We spent two days helping Cameron paint a house that he was renovating which was fun.

Misse my flight out of Kansas City. Not ideal but I have made it to Austin. Beautiful place!

Will spend a better and more detaild post soon!
