January 11 to 18, our last entry from Los Cabo

JAN. 11, Friday, sunny and windy

Not as warm as it has been but who is complaining!? Went to the beach in the afternoon in Chileno Beach. It is a nice public beach and it wasn't too busy. I tried snorkeling while there and liked it. There were all kinds of little fish swimming by, of all different colors. I guess we will be getting me one set too which made Val happy as we can now both go together.
Came home around 4 p.m. to find that we have a new neighbour and 3 other rigs came in, all from B.C. Makes you wonder if anyone is left there. The new people have two very yappy dogs so I hope it doesn't become an issue


JAN. 12, Saturday, sunny

After Val did her exercises (she now has 3 ladies showing up), we went to San Jose for more sightseeing and shopping.
We found the RV store so I bought a new sewer hose. We went for lunch @ "S"hooter then we walked the old town.
Came home around 4 p.m. and happy hour with George and Ellen.
It's windy this evening and much cooler than usual.

Took on fuel in San Jose: 440 Pesos for 77.328 Liter


JAN. 13, Sunday

Stayed home and relaxed. Windy but sunny


JAN. 14, Monday, cloudy

It looked like it was going to rain but it didn't. Went to town and got propane for the BBQ tank. Had to drive approx 10 km outside of town. A few years back there was a big explosion so they forced the propane company to move out of town. There is no delivery at our site.
We went out for dinner with George and Ellen at a fancy restaurant on the beach. They won a $100 dollars certificate and shared it with us. We watched a couple of cruise ships leave the harbour, had a good dinner, lots of laughs then came home.


JAN. 15, Tuesday, cloudy again

We drove to San Lucas and walked the pier. We got hooked up by a salesman wanting us to attend a session on timeshare so we accepted and after listening to the spiel which wasn't too bad, we got $200 u.s. cash which was fine by us.
Came home, had the water guy bring us 12, 5 gallons water jug and pour it into our water tank. He poured the water into our tank by using a funnel. The total came to 204 pesos (20$) and I gave him a 3$ tip which brought a smile to his face as wide as his head. Pretty cheap for all that labour. We had happy hour with our neighbours


JAN. 16, Wednesday, sunny and cool

It only got to the lower 70's and I know you in the north won't feel sorry for us but once one gets acclimatised to the temperature here, a 10* drop is quite noticeable.
Anyway, we went to San Lucas again and had another session for another $200. This time we were sent to an all inclusive resort which turned out to be very nice but again we said "NO" and after getting our money, we came back to town where we saw one of our neighbour, Tony having a drink so we joined him.

We made $400 in two days so that paid for our month's rent here. We stopped for milk, wine and beer on the way home.


JAN. 17, Thursday, sunny and windy

We had quite a wind storm overnight but all is fine. We went for last minute grocerie shopping, had lunch in town the came home. The wind picked up again in the afternoon so had to put the awning up.
At 6 p.m., George and Ellen and we went to the "Roadhouse" pub and had dinner and watched the entertainment. We even had a couple of dances then came home by 10:30 p.m. We had fun and the place was packed. That Peter, our piano/singer, was very good again and made the crowd get involved.


JAN. 18, Friday, sunny

Our last day here!!! Val did a laundry load and vacuummed and I cleaned and loaded all our toys and paraphilia outside. Neighbours dropped by to say good-bye and the day slowly went by. The wind picked up again later in the afternoon and dark clouds came over.

For dinner, Val cooked Camaron (shrimp) and salad. Delicious. We had George and Ellen over for a glass of that special tequila we bought a while back.

This past month, we travelled 972 KM.
