Saturday, January 16th - Zacatitos - The Waiting Game
Art and I take an early morning beach walk. We blissfully sip coffee on our patio, watching the whales spout and inhaling the reflective blue perfection of the Sea of Cortez.
Will texts me late morning with the bad news that John has lost his wallet and that I should check to make sure John’s A.T.M. has not been used. I check our online banking and there is no unusual activity but nevertheless, we are concerned. Happily, they have enough gas to drive home but they have no money and will not be able to pick up ice, butter, coffee or to fill our gas tank to power the generator. John texts later to tell us that he is going back to the bar to look for his wallet.
I write and post this blog much of the day.
When 2:00 P.M. rolls around both Art and I become anxious. In spite of the misfortune of the lost wallet, we expected them back by now. From our viewpoint on the hill, we can watch the road and we look for our Toyota to come down the road. It’s after 3:00 P.M. when we see the car but instead of coming home, the boys stop at Zac’s. Art watches with binoculars and we both wonder why they have stopped. 20 minutes later, Art rides his bicycle over to investigate. 20 minutes after that, I set out walking to Zac’s. I am worried, imagining that one of them is hurt and that they have gone to Zac’s to clean up their wounds. I intersect Art at Cactus Corner and he tells me that everything is O.K. but indeed they stopped at Zac’s to lick their wounds or rather to ease their hang overs with a couple of Bloody Mary’s. John was fortunate to recover his wallet at the Squid Row Bar in Cabo San Lucas. It had his A.T.M, drivers license and even 120 pesos inside which may or may not have been all of John’s remaining money from the night before.
John and Will remember to buy gasoline for the generator but forget the ice and the coffee so we e-mail Nancy, who is going into Cabo San Lucas to pick up her six girls and she brings us coffee and ice later on.
The boys are haggard, Will more so than John and he sprawls on the floor and John collapses onto our bed to recuperate.
