Sunday - Lets Go the Beach!

We  awoke Sunday morning to a parade of cruise ships headed to Cabo San Lucas.  As with many cruise ship stops, the infrastructure of this small costal town has a hard time accommodating the herds of people the goliathon floating palaces deliver for the day.

Downtown was not an option with multiple ships in port, so our plan of the day was to head up the coast about an hour to a surfing beach.   Los Cerritos, by name, this beach offers waves, sand, beach bars, and live music.   However, we needed a power brunch to fortify us for our fun in the sun.

One of the many appendages of the resort has a Sunday brunch that is out of this world.   We headed down the hill from our hilltop villa to the beachside restaurant.  The dining room is circular with tables lining the walls with sweet treats, gourmet food stations, a bloody mary bar, and much more to tempt the hungry.  

For me, breakfast/brunch is the best meal of the day, and just by walking in I had reached a state of  nirvana seldom achieved before 11 am.  After 4 trips, or was it 5 trips, around the magic circle, we waddled around in our gluttony enjoying the grounds while taking in the beauty of the desert and the sounds and smells of the sea. 

The only downer was the resort has begun decorating for Christmas.   Way to early for me!

Back to the villa and loaded up for the beach.  While we were gone the magic happened again! 

When we walked in the house smelled like a high end spa and the rooms had been garnished with towel art and flowers.

We did not slow down to enjoy… It was beach time!

The major roads in Los Cabos are very well maintained and make traveling from place to place easy.   Once you get into town or off the main drag the condition degrades quickly.   Many roads are still un-surfaced making it extremely dusty.   It only rains about 20 days a year in the Baja, and we have not seen a drop to date.   The ride up the coast was beautiful.   I even got to take a short nap as the car whizzed up the highway.

Walking out onto the beach I was blown away by the view.   The beach was extremely wide, which was because it was low tide, but I think the pending Super Moon was adding a little pull to the water.

Guarding the beach at one end was a huge house that hung on the cliff.  The story was it was built by a hedge fund broker who took all the money and split to Mexico.   Only to be caught at a later date.   The house is now a  hotel, with one spectacular view.

The beach was a happening place with horses, children playing, beach music made us fell like we were on a California beach in 1961.  An umbrella, a chair, and a Margarita and the day flew by.  

 Albeit playing in the waves body surfing was a blast.   Decent swells hurled you to the shore with great velocity, but it was so fun.  

Catch that wave Janet!

We stopped on the way home and captured the sunset once again and behind us was the rising moon.   Back at the villa we fired off the grill and cooked fish for our dinner on the upper deck.   Another wonderful day in Cabo had finished.
