Los Barrilles

So we flew into San Jose del Cabo on Wednesday afternoon, and drove to Los Barrilles. It's a very small town about 45 minutes north of San Jose. We spent 3 days there before going to Cabo San Lucas, which is about 35 minutes south of San Jose.

We loved Los Barrilles!! In fact, we preferred it to Cabo. It wasn't nearly as touristy...in fact there were hardly any tourists at all. We stayed in a little hotel for about $50/night, but it was actually really nice. Nicer than most hotels I've stayed at here in the States. We could get to anywhere we wanted by walking on their dirt roads. In fact, there was only one paved road, and it had just been paved within the past year. There were some great little local restaurants, and we tried a different one every day. The beach was only a 5-10 minute walk from our hotel. We hung out there pretty much every day. On Thursday Shayne fished from the beach. I brought a towel and a book and just read while he walked for a mile or more up the beach and fished.

You can see him as the little spot on the point of land in the one picture. He didn't catch anything, but he had a great time.

The other two pics are from the beach as we were waiting for our charter boat to show up. It was about 6:15 am, and the sun was just coming up. Shayne had his fly-rods and I thought the pic was pretty cool. Then all of the sudden we see a pod of about 10-15 dolphins swimming right along the beach. It was pretty amazing. I tried to get more pictures, but this one was the best. It was so incredible to be standing there on the beach, by ourselves, watching the sunrise with the dolphins silently swimming past.

We loved Los Barrilles, and will definitely go back there again!
