We traveled to Cabo and checked in to an AirBnB for our friends visit over the weekend. We were excited to get a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and laundry. The place looked really nice on the app when booking, and after arriving, the lady was really nice and set us up in the 3 BR place. The pictures on the app were a bit different than the actual place, but it was still pretty nice and the location was 10 minutes from down town, 2 minutes from grocery stores, Costco and Walmart.
Some translations: Cabo means Cape in Spanish.
I misunderstood the time Tim and Donna were arriving to be 7 PM when it was actually at 1PM and I had scheduled to pick up the rental car at 12PM at the marina. The airport is 40 minutes from Cabo, and I still had to walk the 2.5 miles to the Hertz location. and it was 10:30 AM. So I took off, figuring it would be close, or they’d have to wait an hour or so. I made it at 11:45 but it took them until 12:35 to get me the car… but on the walk over, Donna texted that their plane was delayed and would not get there until 3:35. It always works out and I drove the little VW SUV to get Kathy.
We picked them up after finally finding where they had walked off to and then drove them straight to San Jose del Cabo. I hijacked the crew and took them to a Birria place that Coby and Chandra had recommended as being the best in San Jose. The place had 3 things on the menu… Birria, Carne Asada, and tripe and two options for shells, soft or crispy. The were pretty good with all the sauces and grilled peppers and onions. Yum. From there we took them to the art district in San Jose del Cabo, which was at night and incredibly beautiful. Kathy and Donna loved walking through all the shops and Tim and I enjoyed the whole experience.
The city is still decorated for the holidays and it was nice to be down there at night. We walked through the art district, looked at some interesting and expensive “art” and furniture, and took in the entire area with a different view than in the daylight from a couple days before. A breeze had come in and it got a bit cold so we headed back to the car. Along the way we stopped and scheduled two tours, one a harbor and beach tour and the other a Camel adventure tour. We finally got them back to the AirBnB around 9 PM where we caught up and had a ton of laughs.
