Last week we had a bit of a break from home improvement projects in San Jose del Cabo. The city is near Cabo San Lucas, which is on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico. The area is very dry (the first real desert I've been in)... last year it rained just 2 days. We traveled with Eric's family and stayed in a condo right on the beach! Just take a look at the balcony:
The beach was pristine and very sparsely populated.
We were warned that swimming could be dangerous due to the undertow, but as it turned out, the surf was just about perfect for wake boarding!! (thought the water was fa-reee-zing.... thus the wetsuit)
We enjoyed a bunch of activities while we were there - snorkeling, parasailing, and horseback riding (not to mention a lot of lazing around)!
Oh, and we enjoyed some of the local food, including tamales from a street vendor and churros from a Mexican fair (where they were also inexplicably selling large quantities of blankets...?)... Anyway, the churros were pretty exciting:
All in all it was a really fun trip!
Since we've been back, we're already hitting the home improvement stuff hard. I'll post again soon to show you our new Ikea purchases and a great Craigslist find.
The horses look like they are in love, too! Looks very lovely there! This is sent by me (mommy) not Roz, but I can't seem to change it - grrrr.
