On the 7th day of our honeymoon, my beautiful wife and I rode ashore from our cruise ship to debark into Cabo San Lucas. A 5’10 athletic beauty, she wore a translucent white dress with a blue top in front. We walked hand in hand, and all eyes were on us. A score of Mexican men were eyeing us, but mostly her, which I didn’t blame them… she’s a rare exotic lady. But I soon realized she could be a kidnapping target.

At 6’4” and a trained fighter, I normally don’t worry. But the looks at us weren’t friendly. I felt like they didn’t like the blonde white guy ‘stealing’ such a brown skinned beauty. Some of them moved along with us a short distance and I got the impression if I had been smaller things might have gone wrong. Also, I’m not bulletproof.

I stayed alert, and my wife became aware after a bit as well. We cut the shopping short and returned to the cruise ship.

Today she says it was very dumb of her and she should have dressed in a sack. But I always see her as she was that day. An unforgettable vision.
