The End of the Experiment

Our Cabo siesta has come to an end. If the success of settling in one place for 7 weeks (a record for us) is judged by the number of books read then this trip was over the top. I conquered three epic novels, a significant achievement for me, while my dear wife is somewhere over 40. Our weather was lovely the whole time with only a couple of rainy days and 30C temperatures which made the sandy beach and condo pool favoured destinations. Interspersed with our lazy days we found plenty of time to walk around the lovely town of San Jose del Cabo, do some short hikes and several day trips to Cabo San Lucas, Santiago (waterfall) and Cabo Pulmo (snorkeling).

On the other hand, we decided we aren’t ready yet for stationary life while visiting another country. Some day we will be but not yet. We thrive on discovering new places, cultures, local culinary treats and unexpected diversions. Whether that is with our backpacks or our camper van, those are the adventures we seek. Fortunately for us, retirement years give us plenty of opportunities to travel and so our next journey is never far away. Stay tuned for our upcoming travels to the White Continent.


Adios for now.

A full moon rising on the same evening but looking the opposite direction along the beach.
