If, as BP now purposes, you were going to pump mud then concrete in order to stanch the gushing petroleum and gas leak in the Gulf, how would you go about it ... a mile down? And how much bigger would the loss be if not for the depth and weight of all that water a mile down?

If you want to combine sunbathing on a beautiful beach with snorkeling, Santa Maria Beach is a must-see when visiting either Cabo San Lucas or San Juan del Cabo (Los Cabos), Mexico. This secluded U-shaped cove is rimmed by red rocks that have deposited pebbly pink sand in a perfect crescent, and its crystal clear, deep blue waters harbor an amazing world of friendly, colorful tropical fish.
Beautiful Santa Maria Beach at Los Cabos, Mexico
The fish are so abundant here that they may instinctively know that Bahía Santa María is a protected marine sanctuary; they flock to snorkelers and divers who bring bread or cheese to feed them. The best time to snorkel is in the morning when the waters are calmer. Although the deep cove that shelters Santa Maria Beach usually means the water is gentle enough for families with children, as with all beaches in Los Cabos, there is always the possibility of rough waves and undertows.
To get to Santa Maria, look for the beach access sign at kilometer twelve, next to the Hotel Twin Dolphin and take the dirt road to the parking area. From here it is a short walk to the beach. Though a few beach vendors usually make the trek to sell sodas and snacks there are no facilities available, so be sure to bring everything you need for the day, including a shade umbrella, as this beach offers little in the way of shade.

As we were walking along Madeira Beach today, watching the Gulf Coast Standup Paddleboard Championship, we enjoyed watching a school of Cownose rays swimming in the shallow water. Of course everyone thought they were stingrays. The Cownose ray does not have the habit of sitting quietly on the sea floor waiting to be stepped on, [...]
Today we stopped by Madeira Beach to check out the stand-up paddleboard (SUP) race organized by Brody Welte, owner of Stand Up Fitness and the Kahuna Kai Paddle and Beach Shop on Madeira Beach. I shot some photos (above) and video (below). I haven’t tried stand up paddling yet but it is on my short [...]

Wow I moved a lot in the last few daysI left Bariloche with no real problems and with a lot of Spanish to review and review until it gets stuck in my head.The bus was pretty good on the way to Mendoza except for the protesters who set fire to a section of the road in protest over the government not getting the jobs my neighbour described it that way i don't know the 'real' details.The Mendoza

Saturday May 22ndOnce again we got up early. This time we drove to pastor Karel's house where Ferdi dropped Talita off before joining AJ and pastor Karel for a menrsquos breakfast. Here a guestspeaker talked about NZ family law and how quickly the laws have gone down the drain. Prostitution and abortion is legal spanking is a crime and children are interrogated by other parents and teachers

The sun was shining and we had our last breakfast.The bright spot though was our Thai friend Meaw who we thought we would not see again was on reception with Jak and we were able to say goodbye personally. We got a picture of us

At the beginning of the year the Indian government changed the visa rules for tourists to whit that you had to stay out of India for 2 months before you can apply for a new tourist visa. This is fair enough from a government point of view as it stops people obtaining back to back visas and living in a country on a tourist visa ahem. This gave us some serious food for thought as we wanted to
Cruising around Central Australia with a sense of freedom is a great way to enjoy the outback. For our Product teamrsquos trip around Central Australia the self drive option was a great way for us to experience the outback in our own time. So we grabbed our trusty Britz 4WD Toyota Landcruiser and headed off into the open spaces of Central Australia with 2 other cars in tow and the rest of t
