Seven Crown Hotel Cabo San Lucas

... we weren't interested and we haven't had lunch yet but she kept going on about a free bottle of tequila and a wonderful free dinner cruise, but by now the hunger was really taking over and I impatiently started pacing the area, no longer making eye contact with her. She said, I don't want to keep you any longer, but kept trying to fill out that damn sheet! I believe my impatience was greatly influenced by my desire to eat ...

... grail. At around 35ft long, the Whaleshark was the size of a minibus. After a few pases we were able to get close and hitch a ride holding onto it's fin...this was an incredible experience, even though everyone had breathing tubes in their mouths, you could feel the buzz in the water! So no Hammerheads, but instead an incredible dive with an endangered animal. Next time, I'll go Marlin fishing here.

... Steve was tasty when served with garlic and butter. The next couple days went by pretty uneventful, a few trips to the local hangouts (Cabo Wabo, El SQuid Roe, Giggling Marlin) and were spent mostly at the beach relaxing or at Mango's on the deck watching the Cubs play ball in Phoenix. Without a doubt it was the most relaxing trip I've taken in a very long time. Something I definitely needed to regain my sanity before heading back to the freezing ...

... It wasn't perfect, but he understood, and it was the first time in my life that I've communicated with someone else in their native language. I didn't completely understand his response, however I understood enough. So we rode the bus in with the locals. Honestly, there are really cool parts of Cabo San Lucas and there are lame parts. The lame parts are the ones that are all built up with big fancy malls, and Home Depot and Costco. The cool parts ...

... jars of salsa. We drive to Coast Drive and walk above the Pacific Ocean. Very majestic and powerful. But no high waves today for the surfers. We did spot some kayakers....but I have no idea how they got past the strong surf breaking against rocks!! There is a photo shoot down on the closed beach with a girl in a bikini. She ocassionally gets splashed by the powerful waves. I bet she was freezing her a** off !!! Check out the seals sunbathing !!!

... of cyclists, many with well weird bikes and even stereos on the back of their bikes. There were joggers of all kinds, many very tanned and with huge muscles and skimpy clothes. The best one was the old guy on blades, who was skating along in slow motion! Seemed like a long walk back to find the bus. The sun was pretty damn hot. Popped in Subway for a drink, where we couldn't help but laugh, cause they had no bread! A sandwich shop without bread ...

... way through various shops, past the McDonalds, spot Ben and Bev passing by, they do not see us. Eventually we get to the Pacifico Mall and browse around there and the marina for awhile then go looking for super. We find a nice seafood diner of scallops and lobster with four Margaritas for $40 on the main drag but a bit east of all the hub-bub. A walk back to the Pacifico for a big piece of chocolate cake, coffee and tea then a long walk back to our campsite to call it a ...

... home in mid-august, as well as the pictures I keep talking about. The other thing is that even though I'm not updating this very often now, I'll definately update it every couple days when I'm in europe starting september -- so don't give up, ya herd! Off to shower, then bed. We're picking up the second group of kids tomorrow at the airport. lata

... face down on the floor. No-one else seems to have a reaction so neither did we. However, these things to bring you down to earth a bit and make you feel lucky for the things you have got. We decided we should do the 'traditional' thing and have Mexican food with Tequila and margarita's. So we found a good restaurant that had some pumping Mexican music, and a typical Mexican band playing. The food was ok, the free tequila was good but our host kept trying ...

... we found ourselves at an unattended parking lot which required us to pay $5 to park. Not wanting to pay the $5, we drove closer down the dirt road, and found the Blue pool. It was surprising for me to see a bunch of "No Parking" signs all around the clearing right before the path that led to the Blue pool. Must be the work of ...
