It was 97 degrees and muy humido when I got off the Alaska Airlines flight at 3 PM, at the Los Cabos airport. Got a rental car and took off to visit friends and check out the rampant growth of the past 3-4 years here at the southern tip of Baja. Got right into the water, it’s 85 degrees for chrissake. Heaven for a water guy from San Francisco. No wetsuit, it’s relaxed, you can swim as long as you like without getting chilled, much less hyperthermed. Here are a few photos:
