Cabo

It's been getting warmer every day since we left LA, and today was the Full Meal Deal: sunshine, sunscreen, sun glasses,  sun hats, and 28 degrees. 

Cabo San Lucas is a tender port, and this is our first experience tendering with a walker.  Piece of cake.  There are specially designated crew members just waiting to help.  They carried Tom's walker down the last flight of stairs,  had it all ready for him at the bottom,  took it from him at the tender steps, then two of them helped him on to the tender into special seating, then on comes the walker.  Same getting off.  No problem.

We wandered through the port, stopping to check out the merchandise, fighting off the street vendors.   Tom occasionally parked himself in the shade while I explored the stores (and bought a few things for the Baby Grands).  He watched a group of urchins begging for money from the tourists, reporting back from time to time to a couple who were clearly their handlers, a modern day pair of Fagins. 

Then back to the ship where we sat on our balcony and had lunch: salad, the best crusty rolls ever, and Dos Equis (crafted in Mexico since 1897).  And here we still sit, soaking up the sun, watching the water play, admiring the beaches.  I wonder if para-sailing is dangerous ....
