Some Cabo

I have been waiting to blog about Cabo until I had the pictures to illustrate it. Long story short, we just got the pics today. I know there are a lot here, and I apologize for that, but beware, this is but a fraction and there are actually more to come. Once we get the dolphin pics I will have to blog those too, but i think there are only 2 or 3 of those.

First off when we landed in Mexico we saw a 'celebrity'! (I say 'celebrity' because I only know of one film he has been in and I don't even know his name.) Anyway, it was Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore. so that was kinda fun.

The place we stayed was the Riu Palace and it was awesome. Now, I have never personally been on a cruise, but from what I have heard this place is pretty much like a cruise, but of course dry and stationary. EVERYTHING was included. Even room service and mini-bar. All of our meals, drinks you name it. The only thing we paid for in the hotel was tipping. It was great. Some of the waiters thought that we were so odd because we weren't drinking and I think we saved the hotel a lot of money that way.





















This is a shot of the hotel lobby. really doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea.

Front desk

lobby ceiling. breathtaking in person.

The view from our room. hard to tell but we could actually see the ocean.

Steve went deep sea fishing very early in the morning and caught this gorgeous shot of the sunrise.





Steve with his marlin. I think he said it was 7 1/2 feet long and weighed 220. could be off though. he was quite pleased.



















We spent A LOT of our time just walking on the beach and enjoying the water barely wetting our feet. This day we actually walked on the beach all the way into town. It was so fun just "window" shopping and bartering for the best price.




The hotel has 5 restaurants in it all of which are included in your stay. This particular night was the "Gourmet" restaurant. The other people are co-workers of Steve's, Breanne and Crissi, and their husbands, Trevor and Dave.



















A shot of another on-site restaurant, the Japanese one. We ate here another night.



















Another view of the hotel grounds.









This thing is driving me nuts! I am trying to get all the explanations under the photos and it isn't cooperating. Hope this isn't too painful to read. So, anyway, we had an awesome time and it was so great of Steve's job to pay for it all. I wish it were longer. I was not ready to come home. Oh, and from what I hear the boys did great and Steve's parents while we were gone too. So that was an unexpected blessing. I will post dolphin pics when Steve gets them to me.
