Lou's Birthday
|
Be nice to have one of these homes
in Cabo overlooking the ocean.
|
Security in and around a cruise
ship is serious business. |
|
|
A fellow cruising neighbor. |
Our tour guide, Jonathan, is in the yellow shirt. |
|
|
We took a horse and buggy tour
through Cabo. Carrying our cruise-food-filled bodies must have been a
task for this horse. |
The strain of the horse doesn't
seem to bother Pat and Omer.
Doesn't Omer look like a CIA operative? |
|
Church: |
|
|
"There be whales, Captain!"
This whale carcass was found on the beach near the resorts. |
|
Very pretty, simple church that we visited. |
All our tour guide said about this Black Madonna statue
was that this was a different Madonna from the Virgin Mary -- which didn't
make much sense. To bad we didn't pay more attention during the
Madonna lecture on the ship. |
|
|
Pretty altar. |
|
We found this Nativity while crossing a park
on our way back to the horse and buggy, after checking out the church. |
Cabo Wabo: |
|
|
Easy to find, if you are looking up. But the door
is sort of hidden. |
Lou had one desire on his birthday: to have lunch at Cabo
Wabo. We toured and then shopped till 11:15, and then we headed in to
eat some more. And some of us drank some more, too. |
|
No visit to Cabo Wabo
would be complete without the obligatory Waborita.
|
Looks like Bob agrees
completely.
|
Meet the Shoppers: |
|
|
Bob and Peggy are what I call
"professional shoppers." There's no store they haven't
shopped in. No souvenir they haven't bought. No bargain they passed
up. |
Next to sister Pat, Diamonds
International is Peggy's best friend. Poor Bob is thinking "and I
wanted to retire next year" :-( |
|
|
How can Bob be happy and yet still be
inside Diamonds International? Must be that free tequila they pass out. |
