Mexican Dirt:

We have committed to buy some land in Todos Santos... a new adventure for us!

Now to transform it into a place we can escape to, with any luck we will start building in October. Who knows what building a house in Mexico will entail.

Virginia and I went to the Baja California Sur to spend a few days of vacation and some time to look at real estate in the small west coast town of Todos Santos.
We found a piece of land in Todos Santos we are hoping to buy and with any luck we will be building a home within a year. Now to discover the trials of buying in Mexico and building remotely.







Todos Santos Cafe, the best coffee in town!

Waiters love taking photos,

and we are appreciative.

Dinner at the Esperanza Hotel near San Jose.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifico,

A good place for a few days of R & R.

How much fun was it to have Hannah at Christmas time!

Fun to have toys under the tree

and a little person

around to brighten

up the house.

Women's Canadian Open LPGA Event

Last week I had the opportunity to play in the Pro Am of the Women's Canadian Open held at the Royal Mayfair Golf Course in Edmonton, Alberta, with Sarah as my caddie. We drew In-Kyung (IK) Kim, a rookie on the LPGA tour this year. What a tremendous young lady! Not only is she a very talented player but additionally she could not have been sweeter and fun to play with.

Here is a photo of IK with Sarah.

Jasper

One of the most scenic drives in Canada is the road trip from Calgary to Jasper on highway 93 north, the Icefields Parkway. Virginia and I made the trip this past weekend as we traveled to one of our favorite escapes, the Jasper Park Lodge. It helps that the resort includes one of the great Canadian golf courses, my absolutely number one choice to play.
