We have been in Cabo for three days now, and it's been quite different than I expected. I was in La Paz in 1964, ok, I'm old, but it was a typical Mexican town, dirt streets and all. This is far from that. Our boat is docked near the high end district, with a Rolex store, Hagen Daz, etc. Tonight we found some more reasonable restaraunts, Solomon's Landing, and a lovely bar atop a hill overlooking the pacific, Finisterra. The hike up was worth it, we watched one cruise ship leave and another arrive. It was a beautiful evening, full moon, and soft music all around, not the throbbing beat that has been our bed-time music each night so far.
Today, Leif replaced the impeller, which makes the water cool the engine, and I did laundry. Much more normal events. A boat down the dock from us caught a stripped marlin today, and a black marlin yesterday, fortunately they do release most of these fish, yet not all. The black marlin was draped across the stern of his boat, quite a magnificent fish. We are preparing for our trip to Puerto Vallarta tomorrow, it's supposed to be a 3 day sail, so we hit Walmart today, yup they have those here too. Great store, lots of fresh fruits and just about anything you need. I didn't see fruit cups though. I did get some flan, which is yummy. Oh yes, Leif talked the waiter at the Hotel Finisterra into selling us a couple of their wine glasses, which are the blue rimmed hand made variety, a nice memento. Hasta luego, Lisa
