Cabo San Lucas

We didn’t book any tours for Cabo San Lucas since Bette and Jim had been there many times before. Cabo San Lucas is at the tip of the Baja California peninsula with the Sea of Cortez on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. It is a beautiful setting.

This area is known for it’s fishing and there were lots of fishing boats to be seen.

No mater which way we looked there was beautiful scenery.

There are lots of condos and hotels. We are thinking about a trip back here in February when the whales are here and the fishing is great.

Here is one thing that we won’t be doing.

After breakfast Bette, Jim, Wayne, and I went ashore by tender. Gene and Syrena stayed on board.

We had to walk quite a ways to get to the downtown shopping area. This lighthouse is where you turn to get to the downtown area.

We walked all over looking at different shops and looking for a restaurant that Jim and Bette had eaten at before. We never found the restaurant so we stopped at a restaurant with an outside eating area. After two large margaritas apiece we each had a bowl of tortilla soup. We were really in a shopping mood after that and Bette and I both bought silver bracelets from the street vendors before hitting the shops for clothes and more jewelry. On the way back to the ship we took this picture.

We boarded the tender and headed back to the ship. There was a Frigate bird flying over.

This sea lion was looking for handouts.

We got a close up look at Lover’s Beach. There is a cave here that reportedly it two people go in –three come out.

This was our third and last formal night. There was lobster on the menu and the waiters did a Baked Alaska parade.

The Baked Alaska was very pretty.

The evening entertainment was another big production show called “Dance Around The World.” The cast did dances from many different countries. It was another good show.
