Shopping, swimming, visiting, moving on
17 November 2012 | Cabo San Lucas, Baja South, Mexico
Julie, Sunny, and warm
We got up early and took a 40 minute walk to Walmart to reprovision. I was surprised to find that you cannot buy a case of soda at Walmart in Mexico. Singles and 6 packs only. Groceries in Cabo are expensive. Fresh fruits and vegis were fairly priced but packaged goods and meats are expensive. We bought what we needed and will go shopping again on the mainland. Sometimes shopping is an adventure, sometimes it is a chore. Today it was a chore.
We swam off the boat this afternoon. I love doing that and am looking forward to getting in calmer water to enjoy swimming more. Getting buzzed by jetskis while swimming can be challenging.
We met some new cruising friends this afternoon and went over to their boat for cocktails this evening.
Ken and I wanted to go out to eat on our last night in Cabo. We tend to follow the locals and found a great place off the tourist strip. It's called El Pollo de Oro and they had the most fabulous chicken dishes! I had a 1/4 chicken with rice and beans for 40 pesos ($3.28 US). Ken had chicken fajitas. Yummy. It was excellent and we came home happily stuffed.
We're going to head out in the morning for a short 45 nm journey up to Bahia Frailes where we plan to snorkel.
