Art Walk - San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico



Every Thursday in the center of San Jose del Cabo is the Art Walk. 

It is a beautiful setting in front of the old colonial Church.  

The Art Walk is extremely colorful. More of a kaleidoscope of colors and lights every Thursday night.  We have been to the art walk probably eight times and we keep coming back for more.  Every year that we go it just keeps getting better.  


If you like art, shopping and food then the art walk is for you.  In December the art walk is even more colorful and festive due to the large Christmas tree that was just being set up in the Town square when we arrived.  







We headed straight for the church to take some photos and take a look inside.  Also there is the San Jose del Cabo sign that you must take your picture with.  

Watching the Churros being made is kind of a fascinating process.















The Churros stand always is popular and we stood in line and waited.  They tasted just as good as they smelled.  Normally I am in the line for the homemade tamales but we had just come from our favorite Taco restaurant called Lateral Crudo Y Asado and we were already full. 
Lateral makes great Margaritas that pack a punch.

Yum, best shrimp tacos in the entire world!!!!


Some of my favorite artists were in their normal stall area and if I only had a ton of money and a ton of wall space I would have bought more than a few. 
There are many art galleries that open Thursday night for the art walk so it's not just the art stalls and the knick-knack stalls. It's the food stalls and then there's also all of the galleries are open on Thursday nights.  There is music playing in all the different restaurants and there are bands playing on the streets and this time there was a lone saxophone player that was absolutely super talented.  The Tamales are traditionally made and wrapped in banana leaves and the same ladies are selling year after year.

I believe that the art walk is becoming more and more famous because this time I've never seen it so busy and festive and many people were dressed up but not in a good way.
Go and visit the Art Walk you won't be sorry, in fact we will go again this week and probably next week.
The stores were getting ready for Christmas.

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...

Ixtapa Island- Ixtapa, Mexico

Image
This is Coral Beach on Ixtapa Island The kids wanted to go to Ixtapa Island because this is where the best snorkeling is located in the Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo areas.  When we first started asking around and getting price quotes for this, we were getting prices anywhere from 90 - 110 American per person for a day trip to Ixtapa Island.  Anyone who knows us know that we hate organized tours because you get herded around like cattle, you don't get to make your own decisions and 90% of the time they are a rip-off for something that you can organize yourself.   Once the kids found out how expensive it was they began to research this trip and they realized that it's quite achievable to do without a tour or a tour guide for a fraction of the cost. We first took a taxi from Hilton Grand where we were staying to Playa Linda, where the Pier is located for the water taxis.  Our taxi from the Hilton Grand cost 300 pesos to get the 4 of us to Playa Linda where a lot of marke...

Kuilau Ridge Trail - Kauai, Hawaii

Image
My son Dax wanted to do this trail because it was in the interior of the island in the Rain Forest of Kauai. Some unusual Dr. Seuss like plants behind Kim. There is quite a bit of parking available before and after the bridge. There are washrooms available, they are super gross of the non flushing kind and the smell was really bad worse than your average outdoor Biffy. The trail begins at the yellow metal gates and there is a lot of elevation to climb up for the first section.  Eventually you get to the pretty views of a multitude of greens. You can literally take a ton of photos because every view is gorgeous! The forest is thick with some scary steep drop offs but the trail is wide enough for safety  You can continue for a longer trail for another 3.2 miles past the bridge but our hike was already going to be 2 hours round trip so we stopped at the bridge. That was enough beauty for one day. I highly recommend this hike and gave it a 5 out of 5 because it was moderately chal...
