Solmar Suites Cabo San Lucas

... that the local tequila is incredibly good here. They have also discovered that the tequila shops give out free samples and now we can't walk past a shop without stopping. <br><br>Zach left this morning so we plan on getting the boat re-stocked and trying to take off towards La Paz in the morning. There are several anchorages on the way that we hope to stop at for a day or two and just relax after the craziness of Cabo. <br>

... very cool to get to see them so close to the boat. A group of three actually surfaced about 20 ft from the boat and then dove under the boat and surfaced on the other side. The water was so clear that we were able to see them as they went under the boat. It was a very cool thing to get to see. We also got to see a few sea turtles along the way. One was just cruising along with a little fish right under it, like they were buddies and just ...

... br>Trip was fast and seas were rough - it was a blast.<br><br>After dropping off Anthony, we went out to the point. There is a spot where the seals lay out and our guide started calling to them (was kind of freaky how accurately he sounded).<br><br>We took endless pictures - it was really amazing to see eveything up close.<br><br>Got back about 45 minutes later. Worth EVERY penny!<br><br>Not much to see in CSL - so we rode the tender back.

... patio overlooking the ocean. It was a nice area, we just had to shoo away these persistent pigeons every once in a while - no biggie. Once we were done enjoying our pinot noirs, we walked out and sat in these rustic rocking chairs. This was one of my favorite parts of the Sunset Beach resort. At the entrance there is a long corridor to the left and along the length of the corridor are dozens of rocking chairs. They're ...

... The violence is segregated to isolated areas (like the border towns) and in no way are tourists or foreigners being targeted. On the contrary, the tourist destinations have so far resisted the influence of the cartels because of the availability of legitimate jobs. Typically the drug trade takes root where economic conditions are depressed and people are forced to deal in contraband. <br>Third - the economic downturn/crisis. This was ...

... already knew where we would eat....David just had to take us to the right place! More on that later. In the van and off we go! We had six hours to see at least three things that were "musts" for us...the glass factory...San Jose del Cabo, a little town of delight north of the tourist Mecca itself....and the Cacti Mundo botanical garden just outside of downtown San Jose. All the rest, as they say, was gravy. I'm not big on the tour that goes through town with...."on your right is the ...

... yards that feature sculptures related to the history and culture of the place. There are beaches 15 kms north of town, the biggeest one being Tecolote that has palapas, chairs and umbrellas, and a few restaurants. The beach is a little narrow but the water is incredible - as clear and trobical blue as I've seen anywhere. I looked at the hostel-type hotel here when I pulled in but it was just too gross, so settled in to the Baja B&amp;B instead, a little ...

... outrageous!! We bought a pasta sauce and it cost almost US $5. Bread was not bad, often at about US $1.50 to $2, but some may even think that is pricey. So it goes to show you that unless you are actually grocery shopping in Cabo you will never know how expensive food really is! We are not really sure how the locals can actually afford to grocery shop in Cabo. www.adventurestodo.com

... boat, the local mall and all, but we also had a great time wandering the streets of San Jose del Cabo and Los Cabos, jet skiing, and spending time with people who live there. Senor Sweets was maybe our favorite spots to end the evening. The Mambo Cafe with the baracho was great- even with ...

... staff is from the Philippines. Many have not been home for a long time, so they are hoping we stay overnight in Manila when we visit there later in the trip. The level of service is excellent. One of our favorite waitresses has been Maricar. She was raised by her widowed mother as an only child and is working to send back money to her mother so she will be secure when Maricar marries. Yesterday was her birthday, so last evening we brought a small gift to her in the Latitudes ...
