November 2018 - Mexico Go straight to the pictures (Warning: a lot of fish pictures) Additional food pics and more photos may also be seen on my Tumblr.I did another November diving trip to Cabo Pulmo and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I went with travel buddies kumi, Claire and Midori. We've gone so often, we have this down to routine:
Cabo Pulmo hasn't changed much. There are a few new buildings here and there. A few of the restaurants have made some improvements/modifications. But for the most part, it doesn't look any different from the pictures I took in 2014, 2016 and 2017. Most of my pictures are from diving. We dove with Pilu of Cabo Pulmo Diving again. Our typical daily schedule was wake up, dive, dive, lunch, siesta, dinner, sleep. We did host a potluck one night. Also, Claire did deviate from the norm by doing a couple hikes. Though, for the most part, our schedule was relaxing and routine. We went diving a lot. We did 2 tank dives a day for 7 days. One day we did 3 dives. The dives were very good. There were a lot of sharks. All-in-all, not really much to complain about. After Cabo Pulmo, we went to the airport to drop off Midori. Claire, kumi and I continued on to Cabo San Lucas. We stayed at Tesoro in Cabo San Lucas again. We ate at some of our favorite restaurants: Solomon's Landing, Daikoku, and Los Barriles. Paco, the chef from Los Barriles, came out to say hi to us. He remembered us from last year. We went diving again with Cabo Deep Blue. Owned by Oscar and Sachiko. I only went diving 1 day. Claire and kumi went 2. On the second day, I "took one for the team" and attended a Vacation Club briefing. By doing so we got a 15% discount on resort rooms and services, 15% discount on certain restaurants in town, and a $20 booze cruise for the three of us. Things of note about this trip:
