On a Yellow Submarine

I went on my first submarine ride ever. If you were thinking that it sounds really claustrophobic and nauseating than you were right! The top of this yellow submarine is actually your typical boat because it is only partially submerged in the water. The ride up top was actually really enjoyable. Beautiful view of the Cabo arch and lover's beach. Sea Lions swimming along beside us and popping their heads out of the water. The time came to view the fish down in the "submarine" and that is when it got a little rocky.

It is whale season which means the water is a little more murky because it is full of minerals so we only saw angelfish, surgeonfish, and parrotfish (the really colorful curious fish).  We were happy we went on the boat ride along Cabo San Lucas if only to say we have done it, we are not sea people!  We were rocking for a while after that.  It helped that I had prepared for possible sea-sickness with Sea Bands, ginger candy, and ginger gum thankfully.  

Awesome Tortilla Soup with Avocados
Using the stroller in Mexico is a little tricky.  One side of a street crossing may have a handicap accessible ramp but the other side may not.  Sometimes we stroll over cobbles, sometimes dirt, there is no guarantee that if you are on a given sidewalk that it will remain intact your entire journey.  We are getting great exercise lifting the stroller and walking up and down the hills of Cabo.  It is incredibly hilly and rocky here.  Graham has had some amazing meals because he is allowed to eat anything.  I follow a gluten-free diet so it has been a little tricky for me. 

 Of course good old corn tortillas and Huevos Rancheros work just fine.  And I have had some unbelievably fresh salsas, guacamole, tortilla soup and salads with papaya in it, but every so often we run into a meal that doesn't work out so well.  We are having fun trying out new places to eat and new dishes everyday.  

Only slightly seasick here
Sebastian is up and wants to play again so off we go!
