Cabo San Lucas. Baja California Sur. February 7th 2011

We crossed Baja Sur from Guerro Negro to Mulege stopping for 2 nights at San Ignacio as the winds were up to 60 knots. San Ignacio has a much photographed Mission Church. There are pics in http://www.bajawinters.com/
We then headed south with an overnight stop at Cuidad Constitution before arriving at Tecolote Beach,near La Paz for a 2 night stay. Parked right on the beach between sand dunes with our own 'palapa' ........pretty cool.
That night we watched  the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl in a bar on the beach  ,while scoffing Sol's and shrimp tacos........
This morning we started  at 9.00am and arrived in Cabo after lunch for a 4 night stay. 
Tomorrow we  take a side trip to Todos Santos to visit the original "Hotel California".....
.Wednesday sees us on a Dinner Cruise..........
Friday sees us heading north to Los Barriles where we will stay until March 5th before rejoining  http://www.bajawinters.com/ for the   trip back to San Diego. The Playa Norte RV Resort will be our home .
  The Big Green Bus is performing extremely well in a very hostile environment.
  More to follow when we get settled in Los Barriles.
