Project 52, Week 2 - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Cabo San Lucas is located on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, in the Mexican Staten of California Sur. Cabo San Lucas, commonly referred to as Cabo, is known for it's Sandy beaches, marine life and diving adventures. We started to go to Cabo 5 years ago and will continue to make the trip until we no longer can. The food is fabulous, the people kind and the community rich in culture. Cabo is a bit of a melting pot of people from the other Mexican states. We enjoy the stories of the people we meet and how they landed in the Baja. People in Cabo work very hard. Many have two full time jobs working in the tourism industry. Cabo is definitely the land of timeshares however you can use that to your advantage. If you can sit through a 90 minute presentation you can get get some great activities free. Here is the strategy. Upon arrival when you are tagged by one of the timeshare sharks, as we like to call them, tell the person what activities you want to throw in $100.00 in restaurant coupons for the gold zone at the marina. Despite the timeshare presentation, Cabo is a beautiful place to relax with just enough activities and an endless flow of tequila and cold beer.
