South of the Border – Down Mexico Way

Just like that we were in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and off to Land’s End, which lies at the southernmost tip of the 1,000 mile long Baja Peninsula – and where the Sea of Cortez joins the Pacific Ocean.  The rugged coastline of towering granite cliffs leads to El Arco, the natural rock arch that rises starkly from the sea.  We were there with all the other tourists getting our pictures of the spot – –

San Jose del Cabo was the next stop.  This pedestrian-friendly Old Town is the home of the Iglesia de San Lucas, which is the central church built in 1730 and still retains many of its original features.

Acapulco, Mexico followed another hard day at sea – especially the cooking class on grilling;-)  Acapulco is a major sea port and the largest city in its state.  The views from the ship provided colorful and interesting pictures.  Unfortunately, those are the only pictures we have – as we heeded the warnings from our State Department and did not leave the Marina;-(  That was OK, though, as it provided another day for massages and a rousing game of Wizard!

Goodbye Mexico – on our way to Central America.

Relaxed and happy – E & G
