Days 8-9: Cabo San Lucas

Day 8: Cabo San Lucas

Our first day in Cabo San Lucas was spent wandering around the town and harbor.  I believe we passed by 7 different Senor Frogs on our wanderings--this is a serious party town.  Cabo San Lucas was a fishing village until the mid-1970's, when it started growing as a tourist destination.




The center of town was a little less fancy than the harbor.




Day 9: Cabo San Lucas

Today we booked an excursion that included a harbor cruise, a visit to a glass factory, and a trip to Cabo San Jose, about 20 miles away.

Lots of condos and hotels surrounding the harbor

After the boat trip, we went to a glass blowing factory.



Next, we headed up the coast to San Jose del Cabo.



San Jose del Cabo is a much older town than Cabo San Lucas, dating back to the 1750's.  It's much more "authentic" and much quieter.

Ultimately, we returned to the ship, and sailed for San Diego.
