Took a trip east of San Jose del Cabo. We went to the beach where we left for our dive adventure many years ago. What a difference!! It is being developed into Port Cabo, with a modern marina with cement wharfs and landscaped boulevard.
Then continued driving east along a dirt road – rough dirt road which followed the coast line around to the Sea of Cortez. K’s and k’s of beach!!
And then a small group of not so shabby houses, or a collection of RV’s ( no idea how they got in without shaking every bolt out of place.)
Then we came across about 18 Italians standing on the road, with a minivan that had slid off where the side of the road had been washed away. It was tipping quite a bit. Hero George wheeled my trusty jeep into position, attached the tow-rope thing, and on the second attempt - aborted the first attempt because car started to slide farther into the washout and tip even more - on te second attempt, pulled the car back onto the road. Great cheering and shouts of “Bravo” filled the air, then offers of drinks in San Jose tonight ( turned down ). The question begs to be asked - what were 3 rented mini-vans full of people and luggage coming from the airport doing on the dirt road going to San Jose - there is a direct, paved highway! However, the videos ( 4 cameras ) they took of their rescue will make a great story!
Kicking back
Monday and Tuesday were spent relaxing in the sun, doing little tours and finding a great grocery store. Did I mention that the weather has turned perfect - sun, highs in the low 80’s, slight breeze off the water in the afternoon. Tomorrow we head out. I could stay here a while!!
