Cabo Fab-o!

No blog yesterday, wonder if anybody missed me?

Cabo San Lucas is lovely! Took a boat ride over to “Los Arcos” (The Arches), one of the few monuments or sites I’ve been to in about two weeks now that isn’t named after a Saint (although Cabo San Lucas means Cape St. Luke). The rock formations are lovely and I did get to dip my toes in the Sea of Cortez, so now I can cross both that and Acapulco Bay off my list of oceans, bays, seas and other large bodies of water that I’ve dipped my toes in! The Sapphire Princess was also in port and I got a shot of both ships at anchor.

Silver jewelry has been everywhere the last few stops, and I’ve taken great advantage of it. I’m starting to look like a moving silver bracelet shop. But then I saw something made of gold today that was also worth looking at, so I got up close and personal:

The beauty of Cabo is in it’s location, and it hasn’t yet been spoiled by hundreds of high rises along the water line (like Acapulco, Miami Beach and Honolulu). When you see large construction projects going on in a place like this you just want to weep – it’s the beginning of the end.

What a strange coincidence we turned up last night at dinner! I was sitting with my friends Peter and Pamela (from New Zealand) and Peter and I were speaking about family names (he was teasing me about being so Irish). I’m proud of it and told him my mother was a Brady, my grandmother was a Connelly, etc. Turns out HIS mother was a Brady too and both of our families came from County Cork, Ireland. So now I’m calling him Cousin Peter! How’s that for the six degrees of separation theory?

And finally, the off beat souvenir of the day (can’t wait until my brothers and sisters open their Christmas gifts after this trip)!

I’m up to about 92 Christmas cards written, have one more full day on the ship. Think I’ll get all the ones I brought finished?

Sea you later! Only two more days left of this #$%@ gym!
