Grandpa Jensen turned 90 recently and told the family that he had one more Mexico trip in him. Mark, Kevin, Glen, Pat, Mag, Dad and I made it down today on our first day with no problems. The weather is great and the only things we are missing are Mom and Rooney-man.. We miss Em and Cliff as well and Cliff's Spanish could definitely be helping us out. After a long flight we arrived in Cabo San Lucas where Mark picked us up to drive down to Los Barriles, a pueblicito made famous for it's wind surfing and sport fishing. The name, Los Barriles, dates back to the days when Spain had ships sent over with wine and supplies for all the missions they had here in the state of Baja California Sur. While making it around the tip of Cabo, Pirates would lie awaiting them and the Spaniards would throw the barrels of wine and supplies off the boat, making the ships lighter to be able to outrun the Pirates. These barrels would end up here, thus receiving the name of Los Barriles.
To recap today, we kicked off the clothes and jumped in the ocean, hung out and watched the NCAA basketball games at a bar while eating dinner, and played ping pong. Tomorrow we really start the vacation as we begin our fishing expedition!
