I'm Not a Billy Goat

Wednesday, January 18, 2012
San Carlos, Mexico

Today started out with a hike in the desert.  Stan was in the lead and seemed determined to take this large hill.  No, it wasn't Mount Everest but the small rocks and dirt were loose enough that I decided that my Billy Goat abilities were not up to snuff so I opted to skirt the hill.  Everyone else scrambled up without incident.

 You can see Mark, Stan and Pat waving at the top of the hill.
 A little closer shot.
 A little later in the day Mark and I headed for the kiting beach.  Forecast was for good winds.  Mark made several short runs.  He is getting right up now without the long struggle.
 The problem with this small bay is that there is a large hill/island to the right that blocks the wind so the kiters are all bunched into a small area.  Mark went out too far one time and his kite dropped quickly and inverted.
 Upon returning home we found Pat and Stan enjoying the sunset so we joined them.

 Looks pretty good for leftovers, doesn't it?  Stan can grill anything.

Tonight the girls are having a little white wine with their dinner.
