Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan

Brian pulling quite the face, Lands End Arch behind him.

The second port we visited on our cruise was Mazatlan. I did not like it very well. First of all, we ended up with a taxi driver who kept trying to take us somewhere besides where we wanted to go for just "10 more dollars." Brian told he we wanted to go to the market, when we really wanted to go to the Golden Zone to shop. He wouldn't believe me. Anyway we ended up at the market. It was the real Mexican market. It was in this huge tent thing and there were lots of little stands inside. Alot of these stands were butchers. There was raw meat just sitting out on the counters and in the freezers. They weren't wrapped up or anything. Also there were whole pig heads just sitting there. There were flies everywhere and it stunk.
We were there for about 5 minutes and I had had enough! We went and got another taxi to the the Golden Zone. This was a much better shopping area. It was made for tourists. However, we went out on the beach and about 40 people came up to us with in 2 minutes trying to sell bracelets, hair braiding, para sailing, etc. After that I was done with Mazatlan. I was ready to be on the nice comfortable boat.

The last port we visited was Cabo. I LOVE Cabo!! It is absolutely gorgeous!! We didn't have very long to spend here, and we wanted to go to the beach. So that's what we did very early. We got off the boat and they had to ferry us on little boats to the land because there really isn't a big port to pull a massive boat into. Anyway we immediately got a water taxi that took us to see the sea lions and to "Lovers Beach." Since we got there so early we were about the only ones there. We went snorkeling. It was awesome. The sand here was also amazing it was so fine and soft. Like I said I LOVE CABO!!
I wish we would have had more time to spend here. We really didn't get to see the town very much. I wanted to go see Cabo Wabo, which is Sammy Haygar's (singer from Van Halen) bar. I saw it on the travel channel one day and it look fun. Anyway here are the pictures. Remember in the last post I said I wasn't the best picture taker, well I'm not and here are the photos to prove my point.

Me not looking the best to say the least, but look beyond at the amazing background.
