It seems there is no
happy medium.
Cabo
is quite walkable and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around to house
all the tourists and give everyone a chance to taste some authentic Mexican
cuisine and enjoy a wonderful accompanying beverage. I had a Corona with lime and Colleen had a
Tamarind Margarita. I had a taste or
hers and think that I need to try something like that when we hit Mazatlan tomorrow. We also shared some tortilla chips and fresh
salsa. They were tasty.
We
did a bit of shopping and looking around.
Haven’t bought any vanilla yet, but probably will find some tomorrow to
take home with
us. Just seems like the
thing to do when you visit Mexico. With
vanilla so expensive at home – it is a practical solution as well. The area around the ship was full of little
shops and vendors and as long as you didn’t make eye contact, you were able to
move about. However, at one point I had
an iguana on my shoulder – not by choice - with the guy who owned it wanting to
take my picture. I knew that it would
not be a free picture – so I kept saying no and for him to take his pet off
me. They can be so persistent – but then
I can be very firm in saying no too!
We
came back to the ship around 3:30 and as we were able to get the dinner seating
changed from 8:30 to 5:30, we will be eating in the dining room tonight.
Tonight
there is a magician in the main theater.
So will wander down and see that and probably get to bed earlier
tonight. We need to be off the ship to
go on our city excursion. So we need to
be up and ready by 9:15.
Tomorrow
is Mazatlan and parts around.

Glad the warm weather arrived
I found that if I learned how to say ‘No Thank you” in the language of the sales person they usually were pleased enough that they just let you move on. In Egypt I walked side by side with a young man and his camel after saying it. He spoke English easily and after my ‘Arabic’ rebuff we could use the language that worked best. Good luck!
