For now, this page is here just to show a few images from our wonderful trip to San Jose del Cabo.

The decision to go to Cabo came after we realized that funds were a bit short for our dream vacation to Thailand and Bali. Someday it will be ours, but in the meanwhile, I've got no regrets having diverted our ultimate destination to San Jose Del Cabo on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Mainly, we were looking for someplace warm, and relatively cheap. San Jose turned out to be both (unless you've got a taste for golf or renting cars). We stayed at a fantastic bed & breakfast called Casa Terra Cotta. If you're thinking of taking a trip down to Cabo San Lucas, I highly recommend looking them up. It's a damn site better than staying at those ridiculous monolithic self-sufficient commercialist islands of decadence that pass for hotels down there. The image in the upper left is lifted from their website (Sorry Robert & Sharon!)

Casa Terra Cotta almost seems like an oasis by comparison. It's run by a Canadian couple, Sharon and Robert, and their daughter Dahlya, who built their picturesque garden hideway in the hills just above the Playa Costa Azul, turning a typical Mexican Arroyo into a beautiful garden paradise. You can read all about it in their photo albums kept in the open-air kitchen, while eating a sumptuous gourmet breakfast served up by Sharon and Robert. If I'm sounding like an advertisement, what can I say? I liked the place.

Hopefully, as time permits, I'll have more information here about staying in Cabo, and the fun stuff to do.

Until then, here's a cople of images of the folks we met down there.

Here's the 'gang' hanging out in front of the kitchen where Sharon whips up her fabulous breakfasts--unless there's been a bit too much terra cotta fog the night before, in which case you might find yourself breakfasting at Taco Rossy, home of the worlds finest fish taco's and a rather respectable salsa bar. You see the sun shining. You see everybody wearing shorts and t-shirts. It's December. Hello.

Gathering in front of the camera during breakfast. You know, it was a bit like family, sitting together in the kitchen while the folks are whipping up breakfast. Sharing stories from the day before, if not from what seemed like a life before. It's a resonant way to start the day. Unfortunately, breakfast was so typicaly huge that a nap was required immediately following. Wait a sec. Come to think of it, that wasn't so unfortunate.

Okay then, that's it for now.
