Today we headed into Cabo San Lucas for the
day. Our hotel is about a 10-15
minutes walk to the bus stop and then it was about 30 minutes into Cabo San
Lucas on the local bus.
We were planning to take a water taxi to see the
Arch, but ended up scoring a deal on a snorkeling excursion that was leaving
right away. Our resort only had
Pepsi products but the catamaran was well stocked with Coca-Cola and I took
full advantage; apparently, even before we’d left the harbor.
The catamaran went by Lover’s Beach
And then onto the Arch
We weren’t really expecting to see any whales and
were thrilled when we spotted two right in front of us. They only showed us a bit of their
backs and tails, but we could easily see how large their bodies were just under
the water. It was amazing!
We also saw sea lions, dolphins, and a turtle. Next up was snorkeling.
I stayed on board with Katie and Drew who weren’t
interested in snorkeling. Drew did
get in the water briefly with Justin but it was so, so cold. A crewmember gave Drew several pieces
of bread to feed to the fish. Drew
and Katie loved throwing bread down into the water and watching the fish go
crazy trying to get it.
Apparently the snorkeling was much better than
expected. Mike even liked it so
much that he talked about coming back later in the week to do it again (he
didn’t, but we were glad he enjoyed it that much since we kind of forced him on
the excursion to begin with).
They served sandwiches, chips and guacamole for
lunch and then we just relaxed and enjoyed the ride back into the harbor.
They played one of Grandpa’s favorite songs on the
way back.
Drew was not cooperating with getting his picture taken
Once back at shore we decided to walk over to the popular
(and very crowded) Medano Beach.
We hung out at the beach for about an hour while
Mike got a massage and a few of the girls got their hair braided. I’d told the girls after our cruise
that on the next beach vacation they could get their hair braided. Abigail changed her mind last minute,
but Carly and Katie were excited to get their hair out of their faces.
I got a text from my friend Jen while we were
sitting along the beach – I loved the comparison of our day.
About every 30 seconds someone would come along trying
to sell us something. Abigail and
Hallie did end up buying matching shirts.
We had dinner reservations tonight in one of the resort
restaurants (we were allowed four during the week) so we needed to call it a
day and catch a bus back to the resort.
We spotted this unique car while waiting for the bus.
What a fun-filled day!
