April 25 - penultimate day

A good day for relaxing! The sun felt extra bright today, and I do not believe it is entirely an after effect of being out late at Cabo San Lucas :-)
Today's organized activity was a trip north to San Jose del Cabo. This is the older town, and what one would think of when visiting a town surrounding a Spanish mission built in the 16th or 17th century. Wide plazas filled with tree shaded planters where one can retire to escape from the sun or to meet with friends in the evenings.
Many of the shops in the old quarter were Mexican folk art, but a few included display cases of historical relics and artifacts from the times between independence and the revolution. Spurs, sabers, cobblers shoe forms, traveling sales men's business card print press, scabbards for old swords.
After mooching around town, the group split and part continued on to a glass blowing works and a local lunch while others went their separate way or returned to the resort to lounge by the pools. A good relaxing day closed out by the awards dinner banquet.
