In this month I touched the shores of Cabo San Lucas and area passing Todos Santos on the way, flew back to for work in Kamloops, spent the Holidays with my mom and friends. Bonus flight cancelation by Westjet allowed me the opportunity drive the snowy Rocky Mountains back to Calgary.
Beginning of the month my time in La Paz had come to an end and before I flew back to Canada for work Clau, Lalo and I went to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo for a few nights.

An unexpected Nashville Song Writers show for free (Dark Water Band, David Ryan Harris, Patrick Davis, others and Tim Nichols "Live Like We Were Dying" bought by Tim McGraw). But the drinks were $15usd each so...not so free and I was dumb enough to tip on top of our tips... Total 30% tipsy.
