Buenos dias from San Jose del Cabo! It’s always great when we have good friends visit from the US. I think that most love Cabo ALMOST as much as we do! There is nothing better than having friends from home share your second home. Especially, when they love it!
As we often do, we decided to go into Cabo San Lucas and take a sunset cruise. This was courtesy of Cabo Adventures, and they provide an excellent experience that I highly recommend. We spent 2 ½ hours in the Sea of Cortez/Pacific Ocean looking for whales and watching an amazing sunset over the Pacific. For those of you familiar with the area, we crossed into the Pacific when we went around the iconic rock arch. We even saw sea lions sunning themselves on the rocky beaches AND swimming in the ocean near our boat, which I have never seen before. All of this was accompanied by an excellent dinner and open bar. But the best part of this, and any experience we have here, was sharing it with good friends. We have taken my in-laws and two of our children and their significant others on this trip, and it never gets old enjoying the beauty of a Cabo sunset. So that is an example of a fun vacation type week, and then there are always catch-up weeks. You see, some people forget that part of living in a new place, full or part time, is having to “adult” just like when you are at home! Paying taxes, renewing license plates, cleaning, grocery shopping, doctor and dentist appointments will all be a part of your expat life as well. But when I can sit and write blogs on my patio office with a view of the ocean, I once again feel blessed to be doing these “ordinary” tasks in an extraordinary setting!
