Los Patios Cabo San Lucas

... it's made up -- they had a couple of Italian restaurants along one street and so deemed it Little Italy. Probably very cynical of me. The W Hotel is happening tonight ... some big wine tasting event. Lots of sleek young bodies in high heels and/or tight pants. Both men and women. Very amusing. I definitely felt out of place ... <br>

At work all day, then late afternoon flight. No problems with flight at all ... arrived, got rental car, then drove the few miles to the W Hotel. Very swank. The "living room" bar was happening ... but we just went to our rooms, then met for dinner at Rice, the embedded restaurant, which serves Cuban/Asian fusion.

From the Pacific to the Atlantic to where the Pacific meets the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Atlantic and back to the Pacific. Phew! What a ride its been. I am back in Cali (again). Heather picks me up from the airport and we sleep on her new sailboat! First time for everything! I have the best sleep of my life. We get up the next morning and ...

The Bandito Busline did it again. New rule: If you ride on the bus, make sure you have the exact change (or learn some ...

... a la Hostel). But I didn't, which was good. I did get my first few mossie bites of the trip in La Paz, including a notable one on my leg that I reacted to quite badly and must have scratched while sleeping making my leg go purpley and even made the Mexican guys who worked at the hostel wince. I also found a cockroach in the bathroom here, he was awesome. On the bus again a couple of days later travelling toward a place named Cabo San Lucas that we had heard great ...

11:30am THE ANNOUNCEMNT: We will be on land and in Cabo San Lucas by 12:30! I could swear the ship vibrated from everyone jumping up and down in excitement. I would be one of those people. Dennis, Sue and I litteraly ran down to the shore excursion desk for out ticktes to Los Todos. This is what I have been waiting for for months. A chance to relive the 70's and HOTEL CALIFORNIA. The bus tour took about 1 1/2 hours. The scenery was ...

... and the utensils are chopsticks and traditional oversized porcelain soupspoons. The kitchen is open to the dining room so there is an element of "theatre" to the experience. We were told that, as we travel around the world, the menus would change to reflect the region within which we are traveling.
