Before the ceremony, Rod, Carrie, Joel, and I took a watertaxi into Cabos to get a feel for the city. The water taxi was an interesting experience. Riu is on a beach, and not a very calm one. To get on the boat, you had to wait on the sand until the wave crashed and pulled back into the ocean. Then you run as fast as you possibly can and hurl yourself into the boat, hoping that you can do this before the next wave crashes against the boat and knocks you and all your stuff into the water. This, apparently, was a justified fear. Allyson spent a good part of her morning trying to dry off from the soak she took.
Cabos was not a terribly interesting or inviting town. It was kind of sad. It was just a bunch of touristy hotels and restaurants that looked ready for a never-ending spring break. There was some good shopping though. I found a cute dress and a marionette that I had to have after the man selling it made it dance to La Cucuaracha.
