| Cabo Cactus |
Spring break was going strong when we left Florida last Wednesday. It was going strong in California and has moved down the west coast into Mexico. We’re on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam and unlike in the last blog I now know where we’re going. We left San Diego Sunday afternoon. Yesterday was a relaxing day at sea. Today we are in Cabo San Lucas, tomorrow we’ll be in Mazatlan, followed on Thursday by Puerto Vallarta. We will have two days at sea before getting back to San Diego Sunday morning.
Holland America typically caters to an older crowd (like us). This week the demographic is much younger. The ship is full of families with school age children on spring break. It’s certainly not a problem, it’s fun to see them running around and having a good time. There are two things to be thankful for, first we’re not overrun with college kids puking over the side of the ship and two, that we’re not on the Disney ship that is right beside us. We have a couple of hundred kids, they have a couple of billion.
The metropolotian area of Cabo has a population of over 300,000 people and is located at the southern tip of the California Big Sur Peninsula. Cabo is known for it’s night life (we’ll be gone before sundown), sandy beaches, sport fishing and as a playground for the “rich and famous”.
I’m writing this on the I-phone instead of the laptop. It’s not as user friendly so the blogs may be shorter and have fewer pictures.
