So if you are coming to Cabo for these amazing time, be prepare, get ready to some party!! Here is the TOP 5 of activities for you, all the spring breakers =) Keep in mind I am actually ordering them in order of showing in. So the perfect day will be starting at Mango Deck with its margaritas, games, shows, and music all day long. After that you can get back to your hotel, and get ready for Rock and Roll! Go downtown and enjoy the night life of #Cabo.

1. Mango Deck - Open every day from 7am until 11pm. Contests start about 11am.

2. Nowhere Bar - Locals love this place, good for drinks, dancing and good music.

3. Mandala - Excellent party every night!

4. Pink Kitty - See and check if you like it, they are all in the same block.

5. Squid Roe - Well, this would be your last stop at night. I would say you will not find me there, most probably hahaha! But if you are looking for someone that likes to party until 5 in the morning this will be the place to find them.

Also, there is a little bar next to Mandala, it is called Saloon Saloon, I like it because of two things; first because they serve a little basket of peanuts on the tables and second, because the bartender gives a very good show on the bar, with fire and all!! Just need to order a set of shots. Peanuts, I know, mmm!!!

Remember in Mexico, you are considered "old" enough to drink at 18 years old, hence, all those young people taking advantage of the 3 years difference about legally drinking.

I am not quite sure if teenagers are looking in the website about places to go while their spring break in Cabo, must of them, probably are coming with friends that have been here and already know what to do. So if you are reading this and may be concerned about your kids coming to party, let me just tell you... it is not the environment, it is not what they offer to them or what they can or can not drink. It is what they have learned and how much you have been clear about their value as human beings and how emotions or problems could never be covered with addictions, they will only grow bigger. It is about teaching that little human that they are of high value, that they do not need to demonstrate how "cool" they are to anybody. It is about letting them know that it is o.k. to say no and also, it is "cool" to be unique.

I'd like to say I was a teenager not long ago, well... define long, any way, I remember my folks gave me limits and even prohibited things, but at the end, if I wanted I could have broken every rule they gave me... instead I chose wisely thanks to the good foundations they gave me as a child.

On the other hand if you, are in Cabo during this season and like to go and have different kind of fun than the "wet t-shirts contests" of Cabo, well, here is what I would recommend:

1. Morning jog on the beach

2. Fishing tour

3. Golfing

4. Fine Dining

5. Walk by the Marina

Pescado Zarandeado - You have got to try it!!!
MARISCOS MAZATLÁN

And at last, little bit of Rock and Roll at Cabo Wabo won't hurt anyone. 

So there, a little point of view from a local lady, sometimes feeling melancholic about those times when I could go on and on all night long with my friends from one place to the other jumping and dancing... but also feeling proud of myself being a girl that even if I some few, few times had more alcohol than what my body was able to resist, I always treated myself with respect, and demanded the other ones to do as well. I had a terrific time and never regretted anything.

Be wise, love yourself, live the moment and #VisitCabo #LoveCabo #CaboforLife 

A Green Desert

A GreenDesert

The biggest news about Cabo lately is that, last week we had one of the biggest rain we have had since 2007.

A normal year in Cabo, is very dry… when it rains is maximum a half of a day, and maybe three times a year, top. So having strong rain for three consecutive days was a little bit more than what we could manage. This was as we say colloquially “un aguacero” and we were not prevented, we have made it through hurricanes, but the thing with them is that is a lot of wind and not much water, or at least not that perseverant. Consequently both cities San José and San Lucas had lots of problems, streets turned on rivers, and cars unable to work, places with 2 or 3 inches of water inside and so on…

Fortunately it has been a week after the rain, and we are almost good to go. The streets are being fixed and eventhough we may have some dirt left (water that came down from the hills to the lower areas) Cabo is now working, stores are open and tourists are sightseeing as any other day before.

I have to say, one of our best friends came into town the last day of rain, and at night we felt like going for a beer, I do not know if it was adventurous or just bored, but we took the car and passed by all the water streets and finally ended in "Mango Deck", where we had some delicious Quesadillas and Guacamole, and of course, couple of Pacificos. The ambiance was wonderful, people dancing, live music, it was like being in a traditional Mexican Wedding with all the salsa and the cumbia famous songs. After dinner we went to "Nowhere Bar" and "Mandala". We met ladies from San Diego that told us how they went out a night before, it was raining all night but every soul was still having fun at Squid Roe, even dancing on the rain! How fortunate! I wish we would have gone out a night before…

Anyway, the reason I decided to write about the rain, is mainly because it has impressed me these last days how green a desert could turn out! Really, I am sharing you some pictures, wish you were here to witness… is amazing all these trees that before seemed like no-alive now they are full of these small soft leaves, so green, so beautiful.

We have a saying in Spanish “Viejos los montes y reverdecen” meaning how even when the hills are very old, they can still go green again. Is just a little message to let us know how not matters how dry we could have been before, how old we are, we still can be green, alive with new energy, new strenght.

Love Cabo,Live Cabo
