Wednesday...huge, full day.

First thing to remember: What happens in Cabo, stays in Cabo! I can't say how many times I said that! Tamee was a smart cookie when she bought this tour for us. It cost 45 bucks each and it was an amazing full day tour plus lunch.

First we went to "Land's End" "El arco" really famous, on a glass bottom boat. We think it's where they filmed Pirates. Then we got to see the people train dolphins. You know I was dying and to make matters worse, we weren't allowed to take pictures. But it was sooooo cool! I am going to do that next time. I promised myself someday, I will swim with the dolphins.

This is called "Lover's Beach" Where 2 enter, but 3 come out. You just have to wait 9 months!

Then on the back side, sadly enough is divorce beach.

This is the Scooby Doo Rock...can you see it? It's the back of his head.

Then the famous Arch- el arco

This seal was so funny. He jumped up there and pushed off the bird that was chillin' there and then he was like king of the rock and stretched his head all tall and proud. It was great!

Hard Rock Cafe: Then we got to do a little shopping in Cabo San Lucas. We went to the hard rock cafe and other places like Burger King (didn't go there, just took pictures) and bought the most amazing coconut ice creams for a buck.



Then we went to the glass blowing factory. The oven is 1800 degrees. The guy made a turtle in front of us. It was really cool. And then when he was done, it was so hot that he touched a paper to it and it caught fire. It was amazing. Then they asked for volunteers and I got to blow the glass. It was really cool! It was like a huge balloon and then he just shattered it and they recycle it and start all over again. That's where I got OD his gimpy turtle and Amberly and Dane their vase he's supposed to put flowers in!

There was a coconut stand on the side of the road, where we pulled off to see the surfers and I bought a fresh coconut for 3 bucks. They hack it open, you drink what's in it and then hand it back and they hack it apart and put the "white meat" into a baggy for you to take with you. It was great!





Then we went to the taquila making factory. Really, we didn't get to see the intricate makings, but we did get have the opportunity to sample a few flavors. Since we don't drink, we said we didn't need a sample cup, but the other guy with us said, "Yes you do, then you can give me your samples." So that's what we did. We each got our sample and smelled it (culture, learning etc!) and then poured our samples into his cup to make his like 3 times stronger. He was a happy camper and was happy to be on tour with two mormons. We were the first Mormons they had ever met. They were from Chicago. Interesting, that is where my roommate Erin is from.

After that we went to Cabo San Jose (See there's two cabos, which means capes and they are divided by Highway 1 and in order to get anywhere you have travel that highway and pay a taxista 35 bucks...pricey. We paid it like 3 times, except for when we went home that day, we ran to the bus. More on that later.

In Cabo San Jose we had lunch and visited a mission and went shopping. That is where I bought my big bottle of Vanilla for 8 bucks and my little statues for Day of the Dead. Tamee thought I was crazy for buying them, but it's a culture thing I teach in class.

After lunch and San Jose we went back to Cabo San Lucas and went shopping, wheeling and dealing and very burnt and tired. We were on our way leaving and this guy had this huge iguana. He makes ends meet by sitting on the sidewalk having people pay him a dollar to take a picture with his iguana. Originally we were like, "Yeah, we'll take a picture just of you with it and he was like, "No, no, no" and put it on my shoulder. Then he walked over to Tamee and it crawled up her shoulders and head and she was screaming/laughing "No,no,no" as it crawled up her head. It was really funny!

So our day was done. We went to go catch the bus and sat at the bus stop (or so we thought, apparently it was a bus stop that was no longer in use.) So as I'm over buying another of my favorite coconut ice creams, Tamee is chillin' at the bus stop with all our treasures from the day (tons of bags) and this native comes up to her trying to tell her that the bus stop was more down the road and this one was no longer a stop. So we started walking to the new one as our bus breezes by us. We start booking it! Oh man, memories of the mission came flooding back! Always running somewhere holding way too much stuff! So I'm screaming in Spanish "Espera, Espera" and everyone is looking out the windows like "Stupid Americans". We made it huffing and puffing without exact exchange and jump on the bus. All sweaty, but happy to be on our way home! What a fun yet exhausting day! Off to the pool for us!

Tamee's treasures!
