Cabo San Lucas January 2010

In January, we finally got around to using our timeshare at the Hacienda Encantada resort, Punta Ballena, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was an awesome trip! This resort is about the nicest place we've ever stayed anywhere. Here is a shot of the little beach at our resort. These cactus are everywhere in this part of Mexico.

Here is Elaina at our little beach.

The pool at sunset. We had a nightly ritual of swimming till the sun set.

Here we are on our snorkeling/whale-watching boat ride. Doesn't Seth have a cute smile?

Elaina meets the soda-drinking donkey. She loved this show, which also featured dances from every state in Mexico.

Here is Elaina showing off her new bathing suit at Lovers' beach near El Arco. We should have stayed longer. Unlike most beaches in Mexico, there are no sales people on this beach.

Pamela, Seth, and Elaina at the pool right after sunset. This is the life!

Neil and Seth at the pool. Thank you, Wendy McHood, for giving us the little hat for Seth.

Elaina playing at the playground at the resort. Isn't her hat cute?

The view from our balcony. This was my favorite feature of the Hacienda Encantada Resort.

Going to church in Mexico. It was great to practice my Spanish and I had to pay close attention to understand what was being said and how to comment back in Spanish. I learned a new word: "Satanas" (Satan). It seems wrong because it sounds so much like Santa Ana. However, those from the Alamo would probably agree on the similarity. I also wanted to go to Priesthood meeting because they got to have class outside in the courtyard, as seen behind us in the picture.

The view from our hotel looking toward San Jose Del Cabo.

The view from our balcony looking down at the pool. There were clouds the first day after we got here. It had been raining all week in San Diego and we could see snow on the mountains when we flew out of California.
