I had no idea how much I had missed Cabo!
From the second the wheels hit the tarmac, I could feel
The cleavage got burned that day! |
I stayed for three days total in San Jose at Laguna Vista, where we lived for nearly two years, and for three days in San Lucas with my friend Linda from Minneapolis who has a very rich relative who can afford presidential suites at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach. (Thank you Linda for adopting me.) In Los Cabos I ate the best and the healthiest of foods, did a little shopping, and just soaked in the beauty all around me. The five-star resort was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Linda and I enjoyed a tour of the resort and all its splendor and we sat by and swam in the infinity pool, eating fish tacos and sipping pina coladas. Our suite overlooked the beach, and the sound of the ocean waves lulled me to sleep. We walked the beach up close to the famous arch and I took photos of what is supposedly the house of Bill and Melinda Gates. Linda's family took me to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants on the beach in Cabo San Lucas called The Office. I ate fresh shrimp and lobster with my feet in the sand and my eyes looking upon the Sea of Cortez and the Cabo arch.
Bill and Melinda did not appear to be home. |
Cabo San Lucas is as trashy as ever but the quaint little town of San Jose is really bustling! Very different from the recession/H1N1 flu-scare years we spent there. In a perfect world, Harry and I would spend a few months a year in this paradise, without teaching school. And maybe the next time Linda and I walk down towards the the arch on the Pacific side, Bill and Melinda will invite us in for pina coladas and fish tacos! Remember, this would be in a perfect world!
