Benito en Mexico

I went to Cabo over a month ago. It was very, well, Mexican, despite the fact that Cabo is a gringo-ized tourist area. There were people everywhere whose sole apparent purpose was to do random crap for tips. It was like a whole city full of those bums that try to wash your windshield but really just make it dirtier.

Even for someone who hates heat, it was nice to be in a place where you're not always in a mopped/air-conditioned/purified/fluorescent-lit building. Many of the buildings (even the airport) were mostly enclosed, but still open to sunlight and a nice a breeze... very refreshing, indeed. I know that such things are common in many places outside of Mexico, but I've spent so much of my life in the Midwest that it's still novel to me.

Probably the biggest disappointment of the trip was that we couldn't find a Taco Bell anywhere amongst the smorgasbord of American fast food restaurants. I really wanted to see what Taco Bell tastes like when you're /actually/ south of the border. ;)

I would have posted this sooner, but I was waiting for a certain someone (you know who you are!) to send me the pics from her camera. I finally got sick of waiting, so here's a short photo tour of the trip... as always, click the picture for a bigger version.

First, a few pics of the place we stayed. It was a tiny little gated 'compound' with a few buildings, so I felt like a drug lord or something.



I even caught a Cat BHL and MWL roving the neighborhood. :-P


Last but not least, pictures of two of my most favoritest things in the whole wide world: lizards and shuffleboard!
