Day 4 brought us to Cabo San Lucas. Because of the hurricane, we would only be allowed 1 day in Cabo instead of 2, so we wanted to make the most of it.
Coming into port, watching the Tenders arrive (those are the boats that ferried us to the docks since the port was so shallow).
A square where festivities are held (Viva Mexico!)
Our driver in the "Little Van That Could", taking us to the ranch. The story behind it? About every 2 minutes, the van would overheat. The driver had to constantly put the van into neutral, turn it off, allow it to cool down, and restart it, all while we were still moving. It was quite hilarious.
When we got to the ranch, we were geared up to ride our ATV's.
My friend, Jessica, called us "Banditos" or robbers. Ha ha ha, too bad we were laughing the whole time.
They also offered horseback riding here. They had a set of beautiful horses.
Me, setting out on the dry river bed.
I wish this picture had turned out better, but there were several herds of cows or steers along our ride. All of them just watching us like we were crazy gringos.
Me and my fetching driver. He did an excellent job.
Our guide had us going up and down sand dunes all day. It was awesome.
Can you find Jon in this picture? Crazy guy.
I thought this was hilarious - they had tied a bunch of cow skulls to cactus. Said it was for the tourists. This one was a full head - not sure if it was real. I wasn't willing to hike up there to check it out.
We were SO STINKING HOT with the helmets, bandanas, goggles, and oh.my.humidity. Do you like the lovely brown streak across our foreheads?
Heading down the hill towards the beach.
And this is my favorite shot of the ENTIRE trip. Absolutely gorgeous. The rain is from Hurricane Miriam.
My "spray on tan." All of that is dirt and dust. Wow, I look REALLY white there.
Celebrating 7 years of marriage.
Very tiny snails in the crevices of the rocks on the beach. They were about the size of a pea.
Some locals were fishing on the rocks. The water is apparently too dangerous to swim in at this location.
This is Jefe. Oh so sweet horse. He let us love on him a bit, he is very old.
Heading back down into Cabo and to the ship.
A little fish taco before we leave?! YES PLEASE! We stopped by the Shrimp Factory and loaded up on shrimp tacos (the best we've ever had of course) and beverages. We spent probably a good 15 minutes just trying to convert the currency. Our poor waiter.
Then it was off to the flea market to buy a few souvenirs. Then it was adios, Cabo. We enjoyed you, very much. See you again soon.
We got back to our stateroom, and began the cleaning up process. This is how dirty we were, this is Jon's undershirt! Can you imagine how dirty our clothes were? Yikes.
Sushi for dinner...
And another night of comedy before we CRASHED! Oh, and almost rolled out of our beds from the huge swells from the hurricane. Again, FUN!
