THIS ONE'S FOR MARY LOUISE

So I say to him...

"I know I hate having my picture taken but would please take mine so people will know that I actually did go to Mexico." Let's just say it took a while...

Cacti Mundo

Cacti Mundo is a unique botanical garden with the most important collection of cacti in México, including species never exhibited publicly until now. Cacti and succulents from the entire world have been assembled in an artful circular fashion around a soothing central fountain. The facility is also a haven for numerous endangered species close to extinction in their natural habitats. By Sabrina Lear - Article from Los Cabos Magazine

Cacti Mundo or Cactus World is a spot I've wanted to check out for couple of years now and it was well worth the trip. It's located on the road into San Jose del Cabo and is all of 30 pesos to get in. It's probably not the place to go if you aren't into plants and certainly not the place to go if you have any sight or mobility issues. If fact I saw this poor old man pushing his wife in a wheelchair and she was so nasty it must have been killing him not to let go of her on one of the hills! Anyway, it was very well done and you just really watched your step. It's not like Canada where the Safety Nazis would have had glass walls in front of everything.And what would a cactus garden be without Mickey!

Gotta Love a Holiday

So, I'm sure all of you know that we love Zippers. We have been going to this restaurant on the beach since I think about 2003 or 4. The place is owned by Tony, otherwise known as Big Tony. Big Tony isn't very big any more but he is still a very cool man and we feel like we are at home when we go to his establishment. The cat is his and she is so sweet.
As Darcee knows Sue loves a tabby. Oh get over it!! I know! It could be a purple rat and Sue would love it. Regardless, we love the crew at Zippers.

This picture is just a reflection in the pool tonight. I didn't bring my usual camera stuff so I'm playing with a little point and shoot (which actually is quite amazing)

This is our buddy Doc and Tony's sister Sylvia at Zippers

Now this I haven't seen before. We were sitting having lunch and people were staring at something just on the water's edge. So all I have to say now is, "Don't eat the calamari!" Seriously who knows how long it was on the beach!

And this is why my duaghter is the way she is. I am seriously like a crow! if it's shiney I'm there. And, apparently, I'm not the only one. Myself and this young fellow had a good laugh about it. He doesn't remember me, and rightfully so, but we had the same conversation last year. So! Can pick out which one I'm wearing...

more to follow...we have another 8 days
