Buenes Dias from Cabo San Lucas, finally. We arrived 2 days ago, and I've been too crabby to write:( As you can see from some of the photos, it's not been warm and sunny yet, until today. But I need to digress...last week We spent 2 days on the beach at Santispac, drycamping. I and 2 of my new friends chartered a fishing boat & captain to take us out in the bay. That sounds more glamourous than it really was...we were on a 15 foot rowboat type with a motor. It was great fun tho, even tho we froze. We caught red snapper, a triggerfish, a flounder, several sand bass, and an octupus! (The captain kept it, none of us wanted it). And before he killed it, he threw it in the bottom of the boat and it kept suctioning it's way up the sides of the boat after me, inking all over the boat! We ate those fish just last night, and they were delicious. That was 4-5 days ago, I forget... Then we spent a night in Loreto, a very charming little village that we can't show you because none of our night pictures came out. 
We hope to go back there on the way home, even though the caravan doesn't stop there. Which brings me to the reason's I've been crabby...15 RV's is way too many in a group, down the Baja Highway, trying to pull on and off for lunch, gas, breaks, whatever, so a few of us have jumped ship and gone ahead on our own, meeting up with the group in the campgrounds. There are 4-5 rigs along that need to be hand held and spoon fed, and the rest of us are frustrated and done with it. We'll never do another caravan again, and we'll never come back to Baja again. Reason #2: this is a very poor, filthy, baren country, which I knew, but 1000 miles of it is way too much. The litter is out of control, very few places have sewer/water, everyone wants to sell you something, and reason #3...the weather SUCKS!!! Today is the first day I've been able to wear shorts and a t shirt. All that coupled with the rest of the trip has made most of us usually optimistic folks ready to declare mutiny!Oh yes, We golfed with the Illinois folks in one of the stops, it was only $40.00/person/9 holes, and the majority of the course was under construction, with the green and the tee being "grass", and the rest of the course mud, literally, no grass! 
We had the worst game, on the worst course and paid the most money to golf ever!But today it's sunny and currently 72 degrees:)))))) We're going out in a glass bottom boat, then to meet up with Ross & Jo who are here celebrating their wedding anniversary, and we're going to attempt to drink Cabo dry!The picture of the water you see is out our back door at the current campground. It's really very lovely, but very far away. 
Cabo is a pretty cool town, pretty typical mexican tourist town. Our spanish is getting pretty good too.So we have high hopes for better things to come, and the trip back should be better, now that we know what we're doing:)
Hopefully this will make all you guys freezing at home feel a little better!We miss you all, we miss our phones (a little), and we'll write soon.We have internet for the next 2 days...
