Our last port of call was Cabo San Lucas. This is a major resort on the tip of Baja California. In a way, this was the only "resort" destination on our cruise, and many people got off the ship to stretch their legs. The Pride had been at sea for nearly 4 days! While the tourist trinkets were to be had in abundance, we think that the souvenirs available in Costa Rica were the cheapest and best. Anyway, to keep up our perfect record, we stayed on board. The stop at Cabo was rather short, something like 10 AM to 5 PM. Then we were on our way up Baja California, to our final destination, the Port of Los Angeles (really San Pedro).

These pictures were taken primarily with our (now not so) new Kodak DX6490, which we love. The 10x optical zoom is great, and the electronics do a fine job of automatic adjustment and flash operations.

Approaching Cabo San Lucas	The setting is beautiful, showing quite a rugged coastline.	Typical water excursion boat, with Land's End rocks in background.	Lots of new resort development around Cabo.	More development on Land's End itself.
Plenty of water sports here, such as parasailing.	Anyone who wanted to visit the shore, had to tender from the ship.	Bob relaxing on his "floating resort", the Pride.	Old Glory with Cabo in the background.	We had a security boat around us during our short visit.
The famous arch in Land's End.	Closeup of arch with waves breaking behind the arch. Notice the jetskis buzzing around the rocks.	As afternoon approaches, the light glitters off the water.	Our escort sees us off from Cabo San Lucas.
