Jan 6: Los Cabos, Mexico

Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez,  Cabo is one of Mexico's top destinations for tourists. After spending time in San Lucas, we were driven to the sleepier side of this resort town,  San Jose Del Cabo, sister to Cabo San Lucas.

   Cabo San Lucas was filled with assertive "vendors," which made our time there a bit uncomfortable. There was a big presence of armed marine guards throughout the town. We were informed that, as in most parts of Mexico, drug cartels do operate in Cabo San Lucas. However, any problems or crimes related to drug cartels are between different drug factions and tend to happen far away from the major touristy areas.

We found Cabo San Jose to be a calmer place and a lot easier to enjoy the area. We had a beer (Jul) and delicious Margarita (Pat) at the Baja Brewing Co. Their logo is fantastic! Guess who bought a t-shirt?! 😊

We saw several humpback whales (with babies), ornery sea lions, and my favorite, huge Pelicans!Read more
