We're baaaack! Here are a few photos from our trip to Los Cabos.

The distinctive Arch at Land's End, the southernmost tip of Cabo San Lucas.







A fabulous view of the Sea of Cortes from our suite at the Casa Del Mar Resort.







Fine dining at El Tapanco restaurant in Casa Del Mar -- this is the tampiqueno dish which includes tacquitos, steak, enchiladas and a quesadilla.






The moths in Los Cabos are huge -- this one was about the size of a small bird! V. thought they were bats at first.








A sample platter displaying all the fresh seafood offered at Lorenzillo's on the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Very enticing but man that platter must be expensive.






We ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail at Lorenzillo's, which set us back $46. Pricey but wow the shrimps were huge and they came in a pineapple bowl with a tasty sauce.






Here's the gorgeous Cabo sunset as viewed from the beach at Casa Del Mar. Almost every evening we went out to the beach to watch the sun creep slowly behind the hills. What a relaxing way to end each day.





For our last night at the Casa Del Mar we enjoyed dinner at the Mesquite Grill on the beach. This chef cooks your choice of meats or seafood on a mesquite wood burning grille which gives it extra flavor and you dine by candlelight only footsteps away from the water. Fantastico!





The Casa Del Mar Resort sits right by the beach overlooking the Sea of Cortes. Its location midway down the Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo makes it easy to visit either town, if you have a car. We took the resort's shuttle almost every day to downtown Cabo San Lucas.




Tropical storm Paul (downgraded from a hurricane) passed by one night bringing high winds and thunderstorms. Believe it or not, this photo was taken at 1AM! The lightning flashes illuminated the beach as if it were daytime.





At our second hotel, El Presidente Inter-Continental, the food wasn't as good as El Tapanco at Casa Del Mar, but the presentation of their dishes was nice. Here is their take on the tampiqueno dish.






We told people everywhere that we were on our honeymoon -- people are nicer to you and sometimes you get extra perks. The maids at El Presidente made these swans out of bath towels and even dressed them up with a hat and veil.





The Arch at sunset, taken from aboard the Cabo Rey cruise ship. As a reward for attending a timeshare presentation, we got a free sunset and dinner cruise aboard the Cabo Rey. I also got a free bottle of tequila but I think the cruise was a more memorable experience.
