Todos Santos

If I had my FC-10 breathalyzer handy this morning, I'm pretty sure I would have registered above .08% alcohol in my bloodsteam. So when we agreed to make-good on our plans to drive to Todos Santos today and Jeff volunteered to drive, I was all over it.

Todos Santos is about 50 miles north of Cabo San Lucas on a paved highway . Well, it's paved except where they are repaving Mexico 19, as we experienced. But all in all, it's a pretty easy journey.

Getting out of town was a little slow, but it also gave us the chance to soak up some of the local sights like the Cabo San Lucas jail. It's better to view the jail from the outside than the inside, I say. Once we got past the jail, we hit some road construction, and once past that it was pretty smooth sailing.

Todos Santos didn't look like much when we hit the city limits, and maybe it isn't anyway. But we veered right off the freeway and quickly found Hotel California. It seemed like a good place to park, so we did just that.

Jeff also thought it was a good place to take a leak, though he wasn't sure which bathroom to use until Shannon pointed to the hidden signs.

Feeling relieved, Jeff and Shannon thought it was also a good pace for a beer. I opted for an orange soda.

We strolled around some of the many art stores in the area. I began to forget I was in Mexico. In fact, I had the feeling I was in New Mexico. But after a while, Jeff needed another beer and I remembered I was in Mexico again.
