Cabo San Lucas - Cruise Recap continued

The first port we stopped into on the cruise was Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The weather was lovely. We were in this port for two days. On the first day we were there we did a little bit of ocean kayaking and then some snorkeling. But not before we snuggled up to some parrots.
While I have some lovely shots of the ocean and its many rock/beach formations (courtesy of the Atkins)
I don't have any of the actual snorkeling. However - I do want to point out that this was FABULOUS snorkeling. That is, if you are looking for fish this was fabulous snorkeling. Trev and I have snorkeled a few other places, Hawaii and Catalina, and we decided that this snorkeling experience was the best as far as seeing different varieties of fish goes. The corals and reef weren't as pretty as in Hawaii or Catalina, but we felt like we saw the most fish here (although in Hawaii we saw lots of turtles, which was cool). So I really recommend the snorkeling in Cabo.

We also saw lots and lots of sea lions. And we learned that you can smell sea lions from about half a mile a way. Stinky.They would pop up right on the backs of boats begging for fish.Our second day in Cabo was spent at Lover's Beach. It was a pretty beach and we stretched out in the sand, read out loud to each other and relaxed.Don't you love the dude who is totally flopped down in the lower right?

Of course, we also shopped in the local tourist markets where we either got some great deals or gotten taken for a complete ride on our purchases. Probably a little of both. Trev totally and completely spoiled me, buying me necklaces, hair clips and other jewelry. One of my favorite purchases, however, was this darling little dress for little Miss I. Here she is sporting it this past Sunday.
