Visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mexico/Carlos Pueblo


Visiting Cabo San Lucas, Mexico/Carlos Pueblo

Cabo San Lucas is on the southern tip of Mexican Baha California, a
peninsula extended from the Southern California. Cabo means the
end of the land in Spanish. The port itself is one of the prettiest
worldwide. I marched inland to the center of the old town and came
back on the shopping area of the port. I received a tip how to wear
my cowboy hat properly, saw many pretty blooming saquaro cactus  
and some colorful birds in and out of the tees, adopted a pretty local
girl as my daughter, and watching sea lions maneuvering in the water
to catch foods.

The port is quite new or at least kept it very new started from the pier.
I marched along an inland highway side walk toward the old port center
and entered a casino for its toilet. An old man outside told me that I
put my hat wrong that I should switch a narrow side to the front otherwise
the street gangster might shoot me on the spot for upset him. I corrected it
immediately. It is a very attractive cowboy hat made in Mexico by a Houston
hat company that my daughter brings home.

I have seen saquaro cactus in Arizona when I passed by some 40 plus years
before. That was passing through cactus forest in the American West and was
definitely different from a close up look at Cabo. It is a spring time and cactus
is blooming with beautiful flowers some with red fruits. Several small birds are
in and out of the tree holes. A yacht tour sales explains to me about the tree,
flowers, and birds, etc. He used to live in Houston; therefore, we are very keen
to each other. On the other side nearby, I met a pretty young girl as an information
host for the city that I adopted her as my daughter. Her name is Karime Patricia
and I send her photos when I return home.

On the coast business area, there are all kinds of facilities for the tourist such as
Resort hotels, restaurants, jewelry stores, gift shops, etc. I can see yachts carried
tourists in and out of this number 2 largest yacht port in the world, just next to
Monaco in Europe. I saw some passengers from the cruise ship on some kinds of
excursion tour. On the pier near our cruise ship, many people were watching a big
sea lion harassing big birds on the water for their foods thrown out from fishing
boats and also rushing out to meet the returning fishing boats for their catches.
They, the sea lions, even jumped on to the board of the fishing ships and insisted
for some treat.
