Brilliant day in Cabo San Lucas, the Lands End of Baja California, literally at the tip of the land where two seas merge. We had been here before with the girls about 10 years ago and it really hadn't changed very much at all. When we were here before we had just come from 10 days on a wonderful liveaboard diving yacht in the Sea of Cortez, a much more unspoilt wilderness area, much like Sinai used to be in the 1980s.

All of us flown home from San Diego and the cruise curtai...

Bright sunshine, warm and no wind. T shirt weather without being hot. We headed off across the Golden Gate Bridge which was spectacular in the morning sunshine.
