Feb 15 – Friday – La Paz – Today I guess I must have slept through the rooster crowing and slept in till 8 AM. I had my usual tea and granola (since Muesli is not available here) and just woke up a bit. I tried once again to get on the internet and got the same old “identifying” message so gave it up after a bit. Bob was taking the bus back to Cabo today around 1:30 and I was meeting the guy at the water’s edge to go on the whale watching tour. So after easing into the day a bit I went back to my room and finished loading up my stuff then told Bob Adios and have a good trip to Cabo. Then I dragged my suitcase up the hill….for there always ... read more

February 13 –Los Cabos to La Paz – Today I got up about 6 and packed up for my trip to La Paz from Los Cabos. Bob and I were planning on taking the Colectivo bus at 8 to the bus station to take the 9:15 bus to La Paz. We got on a Colectivo bus that had Soriano in its list of destinations and I told the driver “El centro autobuses Aguila”. Probably not perfect Spanish but he understood me. When I saw the Golden Palace Office complex just north of the intersection of Miguel Hidalgo and Hwy 19, part of which houses the main bus station for Cabo, I went to the front of the bus and the driver pulled over and let us out at the Pemex Station across the street. The ticket ... read more

Feb 10 - Sunday - San Jose del Cabo – I had decided earlier that at some point during this trip I would go check out San Jose del Cabo. The quiet “sister city” to the rambunctious Cabo San Lucas. Quiet is an understatement, it is more like matronly. I went on a Sunday because I had thought there would be some sort of event going on. There was absolutely nothing going on. I’ve literally seen graveyards that were more lively. I like quiet….but not dead. I caught the CaboBus at the bus stop West of Puerto Paraiso Mall to San Jose for M$27 ( $2.07) and told the driver “San Jose” when I got on. When I passed Mega I started looking for the Wal Mart and got off the bus when I saw it. ... read more

Feb 08 – Medano Beach – Today I walked off of Lazaro Cardenas down Acturaio from just East of the sign for Puerto Paraiso Mall, and then just followed the signs to Medano Beach. It was an easy 5 minute walk. Basically you just walk down Actuario until it deadends in another street, take a right and the up, over, and down the hill. The beach was very nice although I don’t think it is as nice as Lovers Beach. However it is a much shorter walk and if someone came to party, and brought a wheelbarrow full of money, it’s the beach for that. I am more into a beautiful place to relax and swim and Lovers Beach is a better place for that. I walked along the beach to Lovers beach the other day ... read more

Feb 6 – Wednesday – Today I caught the Colectivo bus and rode it to the Centro Muelle turnaround and then walked down Marina Blvd till it ended at the beach. I walked along the beach enjoying the great view and when I got to the place where I had to climb over the rocks to get to Lovers Beach I found out it was a little challenging but I climbed over them to the beach without a problem. The water on the Sea of Cortez side was clear and calm and reminded me of the water along the beaches in Greece. I really wish I had worn my bathing suit under my shorts (or worn some different shorts I could have swam in) as the water was soooooo inviting. I had brought some water to ... read more
