Don Juan Suites Los Cabos

... Certains livres portent, marqué au fer rouge, le blason du couvent auquel ils appartenaient, pour éviter les vols. Nous continuons notre visite dans l'église qui offre une vision éblouissante, presque vertigineuse. Dès l'entrée, on est émerveillé par la voûte, recouverte d'un arbre généalogique du fondateur des Dominicains, Santo Domingo de Guzman. L'arbre fait de stuc doré est décoré de peintures polychromes. Tout ...

... du jour, une centaines de marches à monter et a descendre. À la sortie on y vendait divers produits de miel et de café local, nos réserves étaient justement vides surtout que le café qu'ils produisent ici dans les montagnes est excellent et leurs abeilles donnent le meilleur miel. J'avais l'intention de m'installer dans le stationnement du site pour la nuit, mais pas possible nous devons sortir sur la grande route. Les ...

... les papiers en règle pour entrer au Belize et en ressortir. Par la suite nous nous promenons dans la ville de Chetumal mais il pleut aujourd'hui le temps est sombre et les orages se suivent. La ville de Chetumal n'a à peine plus de cent ans, les rues sont larges, il y a beaucoup de parcs et la ville est très propre. Il est très facile de voir, par les autos que les gens conduisent, le prix du manger et des objets, que c'est aussi une ville très riche.

... during the Christmas holiday season and Holy Week - you like to relax and walk a fabulous beach like perhaps no other in Mexico (black sand) for miles and miles - you are looking for affordable prices in housing - you are comfortable with a very small expat community of about 30 (source: Roger) - you don't mind driving or taking a bus (there is a bus other than the chicken bus we took) for 45 minutes ...

... it is really hard to see the topes. { topes are speed bumps} There are no stop lights so they use topes to control the speed of vehicles. Was all set to use the new pool that we had seen them putting in last year. Well that didn't happen, it was so dirty that it had tadpoles swimming around in it and was very pretty green. Bonnie was bummed as she had been waiting all day to go ...

November 20, 2008 REVOLUTION DAY It was different this morning walking down the streets of Lo de Marcos. The doors of the tiendas were closed, no preparations for the normal daytime activities. We missed it a bit but also had a sense of anticipation for a special day. We missed the sweeping of the streets and watering down of the cobblestones......That had been done the night before. There was activity but ...

As I was stupid enough to not get a tourist card when passing the Mexican border controls, I had to go back to the border to sort the formalities out. This was the closest border. Read story: Ojinaga

Today I tried out the technology of using my Verizon Wireless cell phone while roaming at sea. Of course the charge was a rediculous $2.49 per minute charged to all users regardless of service provider, but it was worth it. Today is my best friend's birthday and I wasn't going to let being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean hinder wishing her a happy birthday. Strangely enough though I could hear her just fine, but she couldn't often ...

... Mango deck food was ok, is more like a bar than a rest I will say but we stay there b/c we just arrived to cabo and we were tired and hungry. Sat breakfast we had it for free at the PB Sunset Beach (Part of the time share presentation deal), small buffet, it was good, then lunch we ate some pizzas at the Sky pool of the PB Sunset beach they were ok, but the nice thing is that they made me a special drink that I wanted to try for a long time (whisky ...

The word being spoken the most today is Paul. THE hurricane. Even the Captain has mentioned him at least 5 times. And never in a positive way. Paul is a "schedule" breaker. Because of him, we (and the Captain)do not have a clue which way we will sail. Maybe back north, or stay around this area on Paul's fringes, or can we out run Paul - with our injured engine - south? Only 5 days left to vaction.
