22JUN09 Let the Fun Begin

Have you ever had one of those moments when you asked yourself "How did I get back to the hotel?" (or in this case condo?) If you want one of those moments, go to Cabo Wabo, meet the manager (an old business aquaintance of Kathy's) and join him in a sampling of their tequilla. I can verify this works - I've now experienced this twice. If you don't want this to occur - I recommend approaching this fun bar with EXTREME CAUTION.

Jorge is from South America and was running a restaurant in Cabo when he met Sammy Hagar. Sammy was impressed and the next thing you know, he's got a new restaurant and tequilla business to run. http://www.cabowabocantina.com/ The food is really good - I would not know this, but two of Kathy's groups loved the place, the Coconut Shrimp was popular. I, on the other hand, experienced what 8 or 9 tequilla shots and beer with dinner can do for someone...it's called waking up clothes on face down in bed. So the story about how tequilla makes your clothing fall off is apparently a fabrication.

Now - DO NOT GET THE WRONG IDEA. There are really good places to enjoy awesome meals and not get totally trashed. Nor is Cabo just a place to abuse your liver. One of the best restaurants I have enjoyed is "Pitahayas" at the Sheraton on the tourist corridor, maybe 15min from downtown. ( http://www.pitahayas.com/ ). It is absolutely stunning. Dining is gourmet, the view at sunset spectacular. Seating is outside either under the palapa or along the cliff looking out over the water.
The prices are high - but this is one of those one time events - so enjoy.
Signing off for now - more on Cabo and other places to see and things to do around the world. Trying to keep more posts and stuff - enjoy.
