The Road to Cabo

Cabo is only about 40 miles from Todos Santos but they are putting in a new 4 lane highway that has over 1/2 the road in construction. In Baja that means off-road conditions, and tricky. I mentioned that we had to leave Cabo to return home well before Sunset so that we didn't need to drive that road at night. Of course we left Cabo right at sunset and had a challenging drive back but not quite as bad as I had feared. It will be nice when the road is finished next year, making the trip about 1/2 hr rather than over an hour. Cabo had a music store that fixed my guitar for about $25. The harbor was fun to walk around. We saw some expensive yachts, sailboats, and other interesting craft. Lots of vendors trying to sell you stuff, but always with humor. Had best lunch yet in a little off the main drag restaurant - smoked marlin tacos with salsa bar. About $1.50/taco with free salad, condiments, even onion rings !
Went to San Jose for shopping and beach time. Nicer than San Lucas, I thought. Breezy today so surf not too good at Zippers. Breeze is unusually high now because of all the wind up north. But keeping things cooler. We went from 80's to 70's and now it's nicer for exploring....
