So what started off as going off to Baja for three weeks to clear my head, feel the warm rays of the summer sun on the Tropic of Cancer and do a little networking for Baja job opportunities has turned into a 10-week sojourn including settling down for the month of June in my own little cabaña near the Villa del Palmar resort in Cabo San Lucas.

Ever wonder why Los Cabos and other select Mexican destinations come into being and grow like crazy? It's not luck or coincidence. It's all very well-planned. Thanks to Fonatur, the "institution responsible for the planning and development of sustainable tourism projects." And with respect to the Baja Peninsula specifically, there is the vision of the Escalera Nautica, the Nautical Ladder --- a mega project; canceled "as is" in early 2010.

According to my little red journal ... I got up at 7 am, showered, had coffee and a smoothie at the girls' room at Villa del Palmar.

Smoothies at 8:00 am with Max, Barbara and Christine. Sans alcohol. For that at 8:00 am I have to go over to Barbara's and Meredith's room.

Then it was off for a second day of dog walking and my favorite Km-84 secluded beach.

Yesterday's walk.

    I know, Christine, that you preferred the kitties. They, too, were great. Both dogs and cats made for a much more rewarding trip.
