San José del Cabo, Mexico

A mid-winter get away to a warm location is always a nice break from the cold, rainy, snowy weather for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere. We have managed to achieve just that here in San José del Cabo, Mexico. We arrived here just two days ago and are thoroughly enjoying the warmth and sunshine in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Today I’m sharing some photos from the last few days, and will follow-up with more details in the coming weeks.

There are many brightly colored buildings and detailed tile work.

Our room in the center of town is very modern, cozy and comfortable, unlike anything else we experienced in Mexico on our previous trips here in the late 1980s.

The hotel courtyard is a little oasis in this busy, hectic city.

I had to take a photo of this for dear friend, Dave, who is a huge fan of the University of Washington Huskies, affectionately referred to as Dawgs!

We’ve had some delicious meals.

The flowers are abundant.

TheTravelsketcher has enjoyed some sketching time.

The Christmas decorations are still up in Plaza Mijares, a popular spot for locals, families and visitors to hang out.

Mexico is wonderfully welcoming. The people are friendly and helpful; it’s a lovely place to escape the cold weather. We still have more time here and are looking forward to a whale watching tour this weekend, and a stay at a hotel on the beach for my birthday.

Have you been to San José del Cabo? Even if you haven’t, I would love to hear from you.

Wishing you grand adventures,
