Cabo

My wife and I just got back from a cruise to Cabo Mexico.  We had a great time down in Cabo.  We don't drink but we had so much fun on the beach.  We went to a beach called lovers beach.  It is a fairly popular beach and can only be reached by water taxi.  The cruise ships cant dock in Cabo so we took a tender from the ship to a little dock in Cabo.  As soon as we get off the tender there are tons of Cabo residents trying to sell us shore excursions.  They offer anything from scuba diving to para sailing.  We took a "glass bottom boat" tour the first day.  I use the term "glass bottom" loosely as the bottom wasn't glass but a small strip down the middle of the boat was Plexiglas. Our second day is the day we went to lovers beach.  When we told the "captain" that we wanted to go to lovers beach he kind of tried to talk us into going to another beach.  He said that the surf was big that day and that getting on the beach would be difficult.  We said we wanted to go there and he relented.  We arrived to find that there is no dock at the beach so the boat would "surf" in to the shore and we hopped out.  Our unloading went without incident.  I sat on the bow of the boat and held my wife's hand she jumped off with perfect timing and I hopped of just after her.  We had fun on the beach.  The waves were really quite big especially on the other side of the beach called Bull beach. We sat in the sun and did some exploring and collected some shells.  The funny part was when we had to get back on the water taxi.  The surf was still fairly large.  We saw our taxi flagged him down and headed out toward the boat.  He pulled in and I am proud to say my wife and I hopped on almost like pros!!  Then we got to watch other people try to get on.  Alcohol, heavy surf, and water taxi's don't mix.  I wish I had a video camera  I would win Americas funniest home videos for sure!!  I saw many people more concerned with saving their beer than they were with their own safety.  I saw women falling completely under the water but keeping their beer held high so as to not ruin the beverage.  I couldn't stop laughing.  Good times.  That is all.
