Cabo San Lucas is located at the southern tip of Baja California. It was refuge from storms for pirates back in the 1600's. Thomas Cavendish's treasure is still believed to lie inside one of the ships at the bottom of the sea near here. Today it is a fisherman's dream with more than 800 varieties of fish.
We visited Cabo on a short cruise we took with Brigitte, Randy and Siera last March. Our entire day was spent on an 1800's sailing vessel so we never saw the town. This time we decided to just get off the ship and walk around. The pier area was full of jewelry shops and a craft market. A bit into town there were more jewelry stores and craft markets! It was quite hot, so we did a slow stroll for several hours then returned to the ship. We set sail at 2, so it was a short visit.
Our next day was a sea day. Both Mel and I spent a lot of time in the room working on our computers. I wanted to have my PhotoShow ready to post while in Los Angeles when we could use Mel's cell phone as a modem and not be paying by the minute. I think I left the room at 10:30 for breakfast, 12:30 for lunch, 3:30 for tea then 5:30 for dinner. Guess that shows where my priorities are! The PhotoShow is posted, hope you enjoy it. Not sure why there is a picture of the Panama Canal right at the beginning that says "Ft Lauderdale"! Mysteries of the internet! I didn't set it up that way. I had 450 pictures to choose from, that was for just 2 weeks. The next segment ends in Sydney, Australia in 3 weeks. Wonder how many pictures I'll have then?
