Today,
under perfect weather, we choose to take a walk down the beach. We walk east, past the estuary, to the
Marina. Puerto Los Cabos is a beautiful
new marina, just minutes away from downtown San Jose. Los Cabos refers to Cabo San Lucas and San
Jose del Cabo, two towns connected by luxury resorts and golf courses.
The marina is home to many large yachts,
fishing charter boats and a pontoon to shuttle people across the channel from
the hotel to the beach bar. We enter
from the beach and opt to walk around, along a cactus garden lined with
sculptures, palm trees and blooming bougainvillea.
Ahead we see several pens of dolphins. A trainer leads the next group of
participants, all wearing the same royal blue life jackets, down for their
dolphin interaction. We watch as the
people line up to touch the dolphin. On
command, the star of the show, swims along on his side and splashes them with
his flipper. The dolphin chirps happily as he
splashes the girl on the end with his tail.
In the next pen, another brave soul floats as two dolphins push him
along from the bottom of his feet.
Once
on the other side of the marina we see pavilions where the day’s catches are
weighed and cleaned. The smaller fish
arrive via coolers; the large ones require a wheelbarrow ride. We see large grouper hanging from the bar and
a blue marlin getting a ride up the ramp.
Once we reach the beach we spot the beach bar and head back around for
refreshments.
The
long walk home requires a pit stop where we feel like we are all alone on this
beautiful planet.
