Cabo - Friday 1/25/2019



Cabo – Friday 1/25/2019



Today a “Road Trip”.  Decided to get out of Cabo tourist area and take in a little “local” color.  Headed up Hwy 19 NW to Todos Santos.  About one hour, maybe 45 miles,  just in time for lunch.   Their name to fame is the famous “Hotel California”.

Hotel Court Yard
While not connected directly to the famous Eagles Song  “Hotel California”, the song certainly made them an attraction.  Nice place with lodging, dinning, bar, and gift shop.  The “Banos” doors an attraction itself, click to enlarge.  (wish I could do that)

Lunch Pecaddos
Anyway, found a more local place for lunch, (Pecados), shared a burrito and burger along with a Margarita of course.  After lunch inquired about a public beach seeing they are located right on the Pacific Ocean.   Directions challenging and lots of bumpy dirt roads.
Lunch
  Lots of local color as well.  Finally asked a young man and daughter, pretty good English.  Continued on our way, lost again.  Connected with the young man again on way back.  Stopped and he said “follow Me”.  Got to the beach and tried to tip him 30 peso’s  but he adamantly refused.  Found this to be indicative of the locals.  Nice people.



The beach was very long and sparse with people or dwellings. 
Beach
Not a good swimming beach, way too much breaking surf.  Beautiful sand though.  Spent a little time walking and then decided to head back towards Cabo.  Late afternoon DQ desert.  Stopped at a Casino, Kathy & John a small try at slots, a small donation.



Back to the Condo, make plans for our last day.
