Lands End & the 9 month project

SO, after 9 months trying to finish my Cabo report, it is done with this entry. We took a water taxi to Lands End, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Arco_de_Cabo_San_Lucas), the southern most tip of Baja California.

This is the view from our condo. Awesome. The water taxi was $15 or so. Where you are headed is LOVER'S BEACH. Getting on and off the high bowed boat was not something done gracefully, Kathy did not fare so well - but the water was cool on her landing. Once aboard, Capt Jimi watched our progress and even took an underwater shot - lots of fish.

There is nothing out there but sand, some tourists, locals, a vendor or two and lots of sea lions and gulls. Take a cooler with food and fruity adult beverages. The sand is course but no different than the other beaches in Cabo. The Pacific side is beach only - the ocean waves and undertow current are killers - DO NOT SWIM unless you want to take a ride to Acapulco the hard way (how long can you tread water?). But the waves are awesome to look at and listen to. The water on the bay side are mellow, lots of fish and make a great place to go to the bathroom once you have had a few beverages.

The scenery here is awesome. I really liked the Pacific side since it was not crowded and I was saving my swimming for the pool bar at the condo. You can also pay your water taxi driver a nice tip and get a tour around Lands End as well.

And then, to finish off the trip, we headed to a sports bar in downtown Cabo to watch the COlts vs. the Steelers. The bartender was nice, the cook a Steeler's fan - he poisoned me. Just kidding. I had a hamburger from room service - it was kinda medium rare - I ate it - oooopppps, big mistake (5-6 days worth). But - the Colts pulled it out and I didn't start getting sick until about Phoenix - so - life is good and lesson learned - there are no cows in Cabo - don't each beef unless it's been cremated.

Next post - family holidays! Type at you soon - pics to follow - thanks for being patient -and if you ever get teh chance - GO TO CABO - IT IS VERY NICE, VERY SPECIAL!!!
