Cabo San Lucas Day 2

Day 2:

I was happy to stay in Cabo for another day. There was more to do and explore and we had the second day to do it all. Some of the guys went and sold cell phones, this was a work trip and all, but it wasn't going to keep us from having a great time. We headed to a resort first. Matt had the hookups, again, and we walked right in and to the pool. The pools on the ship were so cold and so it was fabulous to have a pool that I was willing to get into. The kids swam like fish for a good while before we carried them out kicking. They did not want to leave! I don't blame them, the resort was nice and the swim-up bar/grill was a nice touch-the nachos were to die for! However, we felt that we couldn't come to Cabo and not see its famous landmark, El Arco. We were up for an adventure and an adventure we got...

We first found a water taxi from the beach. My dad found a guy that would take us to El Arco, but this was no special excursion type boat, this was a small fishing boat with a glass bottom. It was amazing that we managed to get on the thing without falling into the ocean. Once we piled on, we made sure an adult was holding a child, and we were off!

First stop, Lovers Beach. We didn't get off the boat, we just hung out near the shore where our driver put out some bread. The fish were swarming underneath us and the kids were freaking out-in a good way! They were beautiful fish and they were great entertainment for all of us.

We then continued to Lands End (where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet) and El Arco. It was stunning! We were all fascinated by these incredible rock formations coming straight out of the ocean. It was a sight to see!

What was also impressive was the maneuvering of our boat by our "captain." The waves were huge out there in the Pacific and were in a dingy, it was a bit sketchy. It didn't help that we were having to dodge the huge rock formations either. Here we were, listening to our guide tell us about the "Window to the Pacific," when Roman says in a very excited voice, "We are going to hit that rock!" We all look and my Dad and I say in a much more subdued tone, "We really are going to hit that rock." But no, JUST in the nick of time, he whips us around and we were in the clear. He then said we don't need to worry and called himself a "professional Mexican." We all got a good laugh.

There was so much to see, the Pirate's Cove, sea lions, lots of birds and fish. We had a blast and the kids really enjoyed it as well...

The whole gang on the boat. This picture was taken as we were rocking like crazy from the big waves. The guy did a pretty good job considering!

We love you Cabo!
