Well no fwc pics since this was our (first) family cruise trip. Stops at Cabo and Ensenada. Never been to Mexico before so I thought I'd just mention a couple things that jumped out. Graffiti. Its everywhere. Election posters. Might be more of those than the graffiti. Even in the most remote places.
The contrast between the wealthy and the poor. Really odd how the poor areas abut the wealthy ones. I would have expected some transition areas.

Cabo was nice, well we took a Jeep trip up to Candelaria and the ocean. Toured a house with a 95 year old year old lady and learned about the traditional ways cooking (cooking indoors with wood you'd think they would have some ventilation) and what not. Continued on to the ocean via a dry riverbed. Very beautiful, lots of cactus (cacti?) though for being deserty, it was much more densely vegetated than I expected. Ocean and beach was nice.

Ensenada we took the blowhole tour at LaBufadora. Blowhole was interesting but I could have done with running the gauntlet at the flea market.

Now I really want to drive down and see things without being on a tight schedule.

A couple pics of our Jeep trip. You can see my mom and my brother having quesadillas at Candelaria. Our guide made some really good salsa.
