Sunday, 19 February 2012 -- San Jose del Cabo
The title says it all, "One more week." We were driving back from Mega, the grocery store, today when it struck me. Here it was Sunday afternoon, and for some people it was the beginning of their week in paradise, while for others it was the end. For us, it is the beginning of the end, sort of -- the beginning of our ending week down here. We have no regrets, however, as we've enjoyed three great weeks so far, with one more to go.
As promised, we did go to Art Walk last Thursday evening in San Jose del Cabo. Here are two photos of the giclee print from that we'd purchased from Galeria de Ida Victoria. Ida herself painted the original; this is "Woman from Chiapas." As you see in the one on the right, Ida has made great use of the greens, something that will stand out great in our living room at home.
On the way to Art Walk we stopped off at a great little sushi place in San Jose that is a little hidden from view. Fortunately we were told where it was (and how to find it). The name of the place is Koi Sushi, and they have two restaurants. The one in San Jose is at Plaza Cabo Ley (on the main drag behind Burger King) ph. 146 93 94; the one in San Lucas is at Plaza San Lucas (Walmart) ph. 144 73 77. The food was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable (cash only). The photos we took are on Darlene's camera; we'll have to post them later.
We moved yesterday from the second floor to the sixth floor, so we've been enjoying our"better view" now that we're above the palm fronds, plus we can see the entire beach. One thing we saw today was the 332-foot yacht Attessa IV, owned by Dennis Washington of Washington Group International, among several businesses. We'd seen it anchored in Cabo San Lucas, and then it went by here today going north, and then back south a couple hours later. Even from this far away, with binoculars, it is pretty impressive, of course.
We'd seen a lot extra police around, and wondered if it was just because of the work being done in earnest on the new Convention Center -- a project that's to be completed in time for the G20 Conference here in June. Then I found out today that Secretary of State Clinton is here in Cabo for some early G20 meetings. That's got to make the traffic along the Corridor a bit tighter near where they are. That also explains that unmarked 4-engine aircraft (not hers, it had red horizontal stripes) that was coming in for a landing yesterday.
I hope your week is going well, and whatever it's the beginning of -- make the best of it.
Until next time . . . .

Some of the G20 meetings were being held at the Hacienda del Mar, in Cabo. They were arriving while we were getting ready to leave. Quite the security. Could have definitly used "una semana mas," one week is not nearly enough. Seen that Yacht also, was wondering whose that was.
