San Jose del Cabo/Mexico
We went back to the town square in SJDC and took a few pictures including one of the wrought-iron bandstand and Cathedral. We also took one of the Shooter’s Bar where we’ll go to watch the Olympics on a big screen TV and enjoy a few beers at 10 pesos/$0.85 each.
On a Friday morning, we walked around the ‘art district’ of SJDC and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of the artwork. The art district is filled with galleries representing the works of 100s of artists, including paintings in watercolor, acrylics, oils plus bronze sculptures. In this district, there are also beautiful old hotels and restaurants, which have been completely refurbished. Every Thursday evening, the galleries open their doors to visitors and offer free drinks/snacks in order to encourage sales.
Every Saturday morning, there is an Organic Market located in a park on the other side of the art district (1/2 hr walk from condo) where hundreds of venders sell everything from jewellery, paintings and leather goods to fresh organic veggies, chicken and eggs, etc.
There was a comedy show Saturday night on an island in the middle of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina, which we wanted to attend. Since it was too far to walk, we rented a 1991 Dodge Spirit from a Cdn fellow living in an adjacent condo complex. At a rate of $80/2 days, it was a cheap transportation…
It was a beautiful setting and a warm evening surrounded by multi million $ yachts. We brought our dinner/drinks for the evening and luckily, there were two folding chairs in the car, which we used. The comedians were good but not great. We met some nice people and had a few good laughs. All and all we had a good time.
The next day we drove to ‘The Encantado’ neighborhood/beach (20 min. drive) where we saw multi million $ estates/condos. We had brought our cooler and had lunch on the beach. David tried his luck at fishing but unfortunately did not catch anything (again). We went for a swim since it was safe.
Since we had the car, we took the opportunity to visit some of the other neighborhoods around SJDC and were quite impressed with some of the places we saw, as well as the prices. There are some very WEALTHY people in Los Cabos… For example, a beachfront two bed/2bath condo sells for $750,000 US, and that is nothing compared to the $10 million villas, which are quite common around here.
Thats all for now.
