A quick start to our morning – up and on the 10AM shuttle bus to Pueblo Bonito Rose where we spent a few hours at their pool. At first it was very serene – with a piano playing soft jazz standards. Chick and I had breakfast right in our lounge chairs as the sun warmed our bodies. It was pretty cool to eat huevos (eggs) with a slab of ham and salsa poolside!
But the pool filled up quickly (their happy hour starts at 11:00AM….2 for 1 drinks) so the place became crowded quickly. Soon there was loud music, water aerobics, pool volleyball and way too much chatter. Chick and I were content with our IPods and books.
The highlight of the day was my ParaSail……(I'll have a FLIP video post tomorrow)
Oh my. It was amazing. We took a water taxi out to a bigger faster boat (Chick went along for the ride, which I was grateful for). The water was a bit rough, but the views of El Arco, the most spectacular sight in Cabo San Lucas, a natural rock arch were breathtaking. I can’t explain in words what it means to float in the air like a bird. To see things so naturally. It was calming and so peaceful – but a little unnerving. Mexico is not big on safety so there was no 15 minute safety demonstration regarding the harness and how you are suppose to hang up there – so that caused me some anxiety – but the 10-15 flying experience will go down as one of the most adventurous things I have ever done in my life.
After the ParaSail….a girl has got to have a shot of tequila and a bucket of beers so Chick and I walked along the sand to “The Office’. Playa Medano (the name for the beachside area) is lined with cafes on the sand, some with lounge chairs, 2-1 all day specials, rowdy crowds and streets vendors selling everything from silver jewelry to t-shirts. The Office was pretty mellow and an excellent place to relax and watch people.
Chick and I had Don Julio tequila served chilled table-side in these tall champagne-flute like glasses and a bucket of Pacifico. I felt like I was experiencing the true-Baja moment. The tequila was smooth, with no bite (and we didn’t even need a line). We munched on the freshest guacamole and salsa I have ever had (fresh chips, too) and a few hours later (after one final drink…..named “Killer Margarita”) I had a whole avocado stuffed with huge sautéed shrimp and Chick had a bowl of tortilla soup. Heavenly.
Our day was long – we were tired, so an early night back to our room and asleep, with dreams of floating through the air over Cabo filling my mind.
