From Sunny Guerreo Negro

Finally on the internet today after forgetting 2 passwords and loosing the ability on my Treo to read my notes.  Let me tell you this moving around plays hell on your electronics.  I am so over that Treo and if I had any other choice at this point in time I would toss it in the garbage.

On another note, the trip to Mexico so far has been wonderful.  We are now in in Guerreo Negro which means the “Black Warrior.”  My tour book tells me that it was the name of a ship that was wrecked at the mouth of Scammon’s Lagoon, I think it was in 1859 or so.  Scammon apparently was a fellow who found out that the grey whales migrated from Alaska every year to this spot to get pregnant.  The following year the ladies would return to Scammon’s to have their calf.  Anyways, he (Mr. Scammon) saw how profitable and plentiful the whale oil was here so the rest of the profiteers proceeded to practically denude the area of grey whales.  There are now laws in this country against this type of whaling.

Tomorrow we are going to go whale watching with our traveling companions.  We are really looking forward to this adventure.  Thus far no problems on the road other than just staying out of the way of the semi trucks and huge motorhomes.  I hope that this trip continues to be wonderful.
