Cabo San Lucas ADENDUM (11a)

Dear Friends of Barbara and Charlie (B/C) ...

This posting is being sent post-humorously, we’re currently in the 1000 Trails campground in Solodad Canyon in the northern suburbs of LA.

Humphrey again. Charlie brought to my attention that I overlooked some of his pictures taken at San Lucas, specifically a memorable breakfast which may suggest some new culinary ideas.

Valentine Day was the cause for the excessive red and white garb. It was another beautiful morning in San Lucas, much better weather than on Valentine Day in 1964 when Barbara and Charlie met at a reception for newly-inducted Navy nursing students, where else but in the famous bar in the O Club at Sand Point, Seattle.


Everyone was hungry for breakfast. You made your eggs in a baggy which was then boiled to perfection. You then plopped your egg concoction onto your plate.

The proof of success is in Barbara’s smile.

The morning also heralded two new Valentine Day events: gals made scratch-out hearts for their lovers, and guys showed their macho prowess with assembling and flying a model airplane from a kit. Charlie applied his engineering background: considered the center of gravity and thrust, the angle of attack, and stabilizing wing design in his gull wing entry. The competition was based upon distance flown. He was in first place after his trial (he was the first entry), but failed to win the coveted trophy: a big bottle of candy hearts.

Next for sure: La Paz

Humphrey for Charlie and Barbara
