Cabo – Day 5
It’s hard to believe this is our fifth
day in Cabo; sure glad we have two more weeks! As we receive pictures of the
snow in Boise, we’re reminded of exactly why, in 2003, we chose February as the
time to come to Land’s End. This is now our twelfth year of coming down to the
tip of Baja California, and we just don’t get tired of it – how could we? Our
morning view (left photo) from the patio hasn’t changed much at all – the palms
are not much taller; I think they’ve hit their maximum height, which means they
won’t ever totally block our view. If you don’t notice the difference in
shadows, it would be hard to tell that the right photo is an afternoon shot
from three days ago.
As part of some research for an article
I’m penning called “Ten Hidden Gems in
Los Cabos,” we spent some time in the Municipal Cemetery (El Pantéon) in
San José del Cabo. I’ve been here many times, and I’m always intrigued as I
walk through and see such a huge variety of headstones, mini-mausoleums, flowers,
and the dedication to the life of the departed. We were the only ones in this
massive enclave on Tuesday afternoon; at least we were the only living ones.
The quiet was interrupted a few times by the occasional rustling of the palms
or a piece of an artificial flower skimming across the dirt. I was here one time
for Día de los Muertos, and I‘m hoping that were back here this year to experience
the feelings that are celebrated then.
We've had some great meals, including lobster at Maro's, a nice fish dinner we prepared here in the room, and we're going for roasted chicken and ribs tonight. There are so many great places to enjoy, and so many local foods to prepare yourself, that a frequent question is, "What will we have tonight?"
There are so many beautiful views here;
I will conclude this entry with a few of the ones I’ve captured on this trip.
I’ll leave off the titles; you can make up your own, or just enjoy the beauty
that is ever-present in Cabo.
¡Hasta luego!
