Our Trip to Cabo – #2

There are a lot of restaurants in Cabo, offering many different kinds of culinary delights. There are also a lot of different taco restaurants, offering all kinds of tacos too. Tacos seem to be the favorite of both locals and tourists alike. When we are in a seaside destination, we primarily eat a lot of fresh seafood, since we can’t really get FRESH seafood at home. We did eat a few tacos, mostly seafood tacos, and different types of ceviche, as well. :)

On our first night in Cabo, we dined at a colorful, delicious restaurant called Gualmayas. As with many restaurants in the area, it was dining al fresco, under the colors of the sky as well as the papel colores or the different colored cut papers (although now most are plastic) that are used as decorations for celebrations.

Many places are also decorated with colorful tiles too, and I am fascinated with them. I love all the colors that are part of everything and are a way of life in all the Latin and Caribbean countries.

I am also enamored with all the colorful murals and local street art.

A few years ago, we were diving with a friend in Cozumel who ate ceviche everywhere we went, and he tried many different kinds. We liked that idea and now we do it too. So dinner was ceviche to share and a variety of tacos and a burrito for Larry; a typical meal from the Cabo region. :)

This meal was truly a feast. They also brought out a variety of different salsas as well. Everything was mui delicioso or mui rico! NO, we didn’t eat everything, as hungry as we were, but we did make a good dent to it all. :)

There was a saxophone player serenading us through dinner as well. He was very good.

Our waiter, Diego, was very helpful and so cute. He was practicing his English with me, and I was practicing my Spanish with him. We had quite a good conversation. We both speak enough that we could understand each other quite well. Someone later in the trip told me that “estoy necessita una amiga para practicar mi espanol con” or I needed a friend to practice my Spanish with. So very true. Aprendo mas y mas todos los dias, todo el tiempo, or I learn more and more everyday, all the time. Ya se bastante y siempre estory aprendiendo mas or I already know quite a bit but am always learning more. 

It was yet another successful first day. We found our place to stay and got settled in. We got our bearings around town, and we enjoyed a delicious meal. And, we got back to our home away from home in time to enjoy the first of many nightly shows too.

The real vacation began with the diving though. We both dived the next day, Sunday, then it was just me who dived on Monday.

Stay tuned. There is still plenty more coming your way. Sit back and enjoy! Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ’Til next time.
