Day 14---Cabo San Lucas

Interesting to learn that the whole area is Los Cabos, equivalent to a county. The cape with the arch is Cabo San Lucas, and there are several more Cabos located in the land between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. The state that this is located in is Baja California Sur.

On a tour today where I saw the sites of downtown San Lucas (Pam crossed one off her bucket list...swimming with dolphins.) such as the are, then we drove east along the peninsula to San Jose del Cabo. Visited merchants there in one of the “tourista” malls, then went to a genuine fabric store, Parasina. Fabric here is cheap, 20 pesos a meter, with is about $2. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view) nothing in the algodon section appealed to me.

Next stop was a glass factory where both Surani and Holly would go crazy. Saw glass being blown, then a visit to the shop, and back to the ship. We were the last group to get back to the ship. As we headed out the ship did a 180 and the Captain came on the explain that a guest had become seriously ill, so he came back so that the person could be off-loaded and taken to the hospital. There are actually so many really old people on this ship I'm surprised it hasn't happen before.

Finally drank the bottle of champagne that Deb gave us as a bon voyage gift tonight at dinner. Went very well with the prime rib. Very windy tonight as we head north toward San Diego.
