I Spy Enrique Iglesias

Anna Kournikova's Tennis Court
My husband has been kidding me nearly every single day that we've been here that he has seen Enrique Iglesias.  This pop star is plastered all over the walls of the concierge's office and has his photo on Alegranza's website as well.  Apparently he is a co-developer of this condo, which is a little confusing as to why a pop singer would be associated with a condominium development, but mainly he and his lady Anna Kournikova either have a penthouse here or stay here.  We are a little fuzzy on the deets but my husband loves to tease me about this.
Hot Stone Shrimp Bowl
We are starting to see how all these open-air eateries are rated by the Americans around San Jose.  It seems the quality of the restaurant is a function of 4 items; the fish tacos, guacamole, salsa, and ceviche.  The salsas are freshly made here, in fact some are made in a mortar and pestle right in front of us at at the table.  The only item I have never tried is ceviche.  The waiter a few nights ago described it as cold cubed raw fish chunks with other stuff.  This was the most unappetizing description that I could think of and therefore I have not ordered it yet.  After a little research I see that it can actually be made of shrimp, fish, octopus, scallops, etc, and that it is supposedly a tasty little appetizer.  We are planning on trying this in the next few days.  We just had a wonderful hot stone dish made with shrimp, flank steak, avocados, peppers and other tasty items that we spooned into corn tortillas, yum!
We spent some time at one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos called Playa Chileno.  We took turns snorkeling while the other would stay with Sebastian on the beach and play in the sand.  We also found out our snorkel has a leak after getting a mouthful of salt water. :(

We won't be going to the beach for the next few days because we have officially found ourselves in a 3-day cloudy patch which everyone claims is SO odd.  We don't mind it one bit, temp in the 70s with a bit of a drizzle?  This is NICE weather to me, and frankly the cloudiness is a nice little break from the sweltering sun.  Besides, the hot tub at night with some light rain is still pretty wonderful.
