Cabo San Lucas and PuertoVallerta

Internet accessibility makes it difficult to journal daily so we journal as we can. A quick stop in Cabo gave us time to see the famous rock formations and to enjoy the sea life around them. Many of our fellow travelers suffer from the heat and humility, but we feel right at home. Yesterday we were in beautiful Puerto Vallerta one of Mexico’s most beautiful ports. Decorations for Day of the Dead were all over the city. Marigolds but live and artificial were all over the city. The fake ones holding up the real ones not so much. The Malecon had huge ten feet statues of skeletal mermaids, pirates, and other remarkable images so dear to Mexicans. Our driver touched us by telling us that this was the first Day of the Dead since his son passed. WE visited the famous Church of Guadelupe and witnessed a funeral mass, had lunch at the Langostin Feliz and saw the former home of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Like Diego and Frida they shared two houses connected by a bridge. Still they fought. The city depends on tourism and international visitors, but still retains its Mexican charm. Next Zhuia.
