Cabo San Lucas

Today, we went into Cabo San Lucas.  We got on the bus and it was only $2, which let us off at the Para Parisio which is the huge mall undergoing construction.  We walked to Medano beach to visit the Office and Mango Deck.  We ended up at the Deck and got a table on the beach...a little too close to the barrier it would seem, because we fought off every vendor that came to sell stuff.

My niece got suckered by the iguana guy, not realizing that if you do a selfie with him, you’re required to tip him.  Lesson learned. We ordered some food and watched the games.  If you’ve been to the Mango Deck, you know it’s all about the games.  We did the “guess the theme song” and didn’t do too bad, but this table of guys beat us.  I have to admit, part of the time, the vendors on the beach distracted me.  Ah well.

We got my niece to go up and do the beer cup flip contest.  However, she was pared with a ringer.  This girl knew how to down beer and flip the cup. My niece was eating dust, but I was so proud of her or going out of her comfort zone and doing it.

After we left the deck, we went into the office to check things out and gaze at all of the tequila bottles.  The had this great tree with glass hearts on it.  I’d love to see it at night.  The plan was to head to Cabo Wabo, but half way there, half of our party decided to duck out and head back to the Condo. The niece and I soldiered onward. We hit some shops to look for hoodies, and hit a bank so she could change out her American dollars for Mexican pesos.

Then...it was Cabo Wabo time. She picked up a cool shirt and I picked up a face mask. We both drank overpriced beverages for the honor of hanging out in Sammy’s bar. We exited and walked around the town shopping at the little stores. 

My niece found a cute bathing suit coverup, and then we decided to head home. We caught the bus back and then had dinner at Sardina Cantina. It was a good day.

We did take time out to remember it was D Day, and when we got back to the condo found out we lost Chuck Yeager. I know the younger generation doesn’t understand the implications of Pearl Harbor and WWII but I hope the message never gets lost.
