Wednesday Febuary 20 – Catching that big bird home - The plan for today is to walk down to the bus stop on Lazaro Cardenas street a bit East of Puerto Paraiso Mall and catch one of those white buses with a green stripe (not a Colectivo bus), and take it to the Airport for my flight home. I had my usual oatmeal with cinnamon for breakfast and then after browsing the web a bit I packed up my bags the rest of the way and left a huge pile of stuff on the counter here that I don’t see any sense in taking home. Items such as sugar, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, microfiber towels (which I have tons of at home) and etc. I also left a M$100 for the maid as well as let her ... 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

February 3 – Cabo – I copied and pasted some very good maps of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo as well as the southern Baja Penninsula onto Word Files by going to www.loscabosguide.com and then copying and pasting the maps. Or when you get to Cabo grab one or two of those free Los Cabos magazines which are around everywhere and tear the maps out of them. They are some good maps for finding your way around. I set two alarm clocks last night and woke up about half an hour before they went off this morning. I had a reservation for the whale watching tour at 9 AM. I don’t usually do mornings but I guess the whales do so I had to get up. I was told to try and get there ... read more
