jes & paul in san jose del cabo,baja california!

[paulgila]

heres one i somehow missed from the supermarket trip.

i call it "sauces galore."

[paulgila]

a rather large royal outside the resto.

our next stop was another bar a block or two away & the drinks were all paid for.

some more of the local talent.

after that one closed we went to ANOTHER bar that stayed open late.

it had agaves growing in the outdoor bar.

[paulgila]

there was a good local band & everyone seemed to be in the mood to dance.

jes making pals & dancing with strangers.

then we got a special show from some cougar who had hooked-up with some single

dewd from the wedding group.

it was one of the high points of the evening.

it went on for quite a while.

here we are whooping it up.

[paulgila]

the next day was the actual wedding ceremony,and it was right on the beach in front

of the cabo surf hotel.

shoes were optional.

it was a lovely day

and the setting was ideal.

[paulgila]

the sun set & the lights came on.

even the washies seemed exotic.

great place for a party.

and again there was dancing!

[paulgila]

there were some traditions that had to be observed.

i couldnt help but admire the cocos that surrounded me.

after the dj quit because it was so late the real adventurous types ended up in the pool.

i didnt wanna get the camera wet.

the next day we were understandably late to get motivated,but eventually we decided

to go to the westins fancy-and/or-schmancy resto for dinner.

of course i had to explore the grounds to see what palms they were hiding.

[paulgila]

the use of space was definitely impressive.

as was the view from our table.

the place was so big i almost got lost coming back from the mens room so i just

followed my photos back.

on the way back to our room we passed strange night-creatures.

[paulgila]

our cab driver took his own route back to the airport.

once we got there the mexican customs people were opening & looking into EVERYONES luggage!

it took nearly 2 hrs & i was afraid we'd miss the plane but we had about 15 minutes to spare,luckily.

so endeth the voyage of jes & paul to san jose del cabo.

thanks for joining us!

Excellent Paul, I like the word "Baja", wassit mean?

[paulgila]

thanks bo & wal.

wal,it originally meant "lower," but now it is also used to describe something with a "south of the border" flavor or attitude.

Great thread Paul!

I like the "stair backstop" design for when you get going too fast down the stairs you have something to bump into instead of careening off the clif.

Paul,

Kind of strange to see the Agave's planted at the bar. Could be a little dangerous. I enjoyed the tour.

ummmmmmm,nevermind.
