1 At the airport at 4:42. Security lines were unexpectedly long last year.	2 Some artists had work on display at the John Wayne airport.	3 But I'm hungry NOW.	4 Let's try the fast food place that decided to actually be open for business in the terminal.	5 This biscuit with egg and sausage might actually be better than McD's.	6 Plane number on the nosewheel is the same as Steve Chan's AFM number.
7 Yep. We are in Mexico. Stairs are about 6-12" lower than the door of the plane.	8 Time it takes to get on the bus and ride 100 yards to the gate is not word it.	9 This is going to take a while.	10 Taxi driver has a cooler full of beers ready to share. He is no dope.	11 Don't ask David what he thinks is on Craig's mind here.	12 The vibe, we has it.
13 Provision check.	14 Drinkable and perishable check.	15 Second fridge check.	16 Brought this shirt this year in case the pool's algaecide was still dying things blue/green. It was not.	17 Last check.	18 Time to work up an appetite for dinner.
19 One for the geologists.	20 Me. Dave. [Others eclipsed by Dave]. Do note Craig perched on the rock.	21 Frigate birds were over the neighborhood quite a lot this visit.	22 One of the couch pillows.	23 Sky check before we head into town for dinner.	24 There was some ooh-ing and aah-ing that this was left in the wine fridge.
25 Mi Casa es su casa.	26 Melty cheese with chorizo. It was good and it didn't last long.	27 BBQ baby back ribs for David.	28 Shredded pork for Jason. [And those enameled mugs are camping gold. I became obsessed with finding the source.]	29 Steak and enchiladas. This did not look like the steak they used to serve here.	30 Fish for me. It was very tough. Over cooked.
31 Alan got a different fish but with similar results. Edible but disappointing.	32 We still really like the Margaritas here and the appetizers, but the main courses are no longer either good or cheap. May not be nuestra casa in future.	33 This place across the street was hopping with locals so we decided to try it next.	34 Walking through the plaza.	35 Caption on hat.	36 I got a hat too. Now I just have to coordinate with Alan to not wear it to to the same events as him.
37 You can no longer smoke at this bar, unless you are Frida.	38 One tequila, two tequila, three tequila...	39 Home from town and Sagittarius is up. Summer constellations aren't very bright. Neat to see this stuff so well down here.
