PRippley Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ok so the one thing I missed while on vacation in Cabo was Saphira, NOT the 18.85 inches of rain we have had so far in December, yep you read that right, 18.85 inches in 17 days...luckily we were in Cabo 10 of those! Went to an awesome Argentine steak house while there Then of corse, first cook back has to be beef ribs, got going late tonight, but here they are after about half an hour Watching some NBA and chillin' with a beer while Saphira does all the work..oh, did I mention it started raining again right after I put the ribs on?😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 PJ, those ribs are going to be soooooooooooo good and that Argentine steak house looks like it would have been a night to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 It was lovely as was one of the ladies who works there named Lenore who asked to have her picture taken with us, we look like giants in comparison. I give Cabo a high rating for vacation destinations, we loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 After I cut into the ribs and 2 were already devoured! Love me some beef, you can take the girl out of Wyoming, but..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 @PRippley - nice ribs! Kudos, muy Kudos! Cabo is gorgeous. We used to run down there all the time. The Sea of Cortez is one of the best whale watching destinations on earth. The females go there to give birth to their calves and they are sheltered from foul weather by Baja and the west coast of the Mainland. We'd pay fisherman to take us out in their boats to see the whales. There were no limitations back then on how close you could get. We'd see thos whales really up close and personal. Amazing animals. The lights were on and someone was home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've been to that place in Cabo, very good. Got engaged in Cabo, celebrated my 30th in Cabo, and my in-laws own 12 weeks of timeshare there that doesn't all get used. When we lived in the USA, we went down there a couple of times a year, and I really miss it. I love to fish (and golf) and it is hands down the best fishing I've ever experienced. My wife and I have probably reeled in 50ish Marlin (always catch and release) and countless Dorado (that we always kept a couple of for fresh Ceviche and to take to a restaurant in town that would prepare it 8 ways for $30). Almost planned a trip there for March 2016 to celebrate my 40th birthday but we've decided on Koh Samui instead as it is a lot easier to travel there with a 2 and 4 year old from Singapore. Ah, thanks for taking me back to Cabo for a minute!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 We of course would love to celebrate Sammy's birthday with him and you and everyone else!!!🎂🻠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Nice Cookie! Thanks for the pics! Now that we have some experience under our belts we are making a list of all the things we want to do there in the future, fishing for sure will be on the list!

Cookie Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I also loved riding ATVs along the Pacific side. Great trails and very scenic. Just be careful, it is the #1 cause of injury in Cabo. If you fish, you can take your catch to a lot of different restaurants and they will clean it and prepare it multiple ways for you. They give you all of your sides, etc. for one price, usually $25-$30 per head. Our favorite place to do that is Ponchos. My favorite restaurant is Mi Casa. The lobster burrito at Cabo Wabo is out of this world. Head to 'The Office' for beach drinks. If you are out late night partying, this place is open 24 hours and is great post party food, and cheap! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g152515-d3599784-Reviews-Taqueria_EL_Paisa-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html Errrr, I'm starting to regret this Koh Samui decision!!!!

Firemonkey Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 This is my favorite open air taco joint. AMAZINGLY good tacos al pastor, and a huge spread of fixings accompany your order. It's definitely low-brow, but where else can two people walk in with your own 6 pack (they don't mind because they don't sell any beer) and have 3 - 4 tacos etc each for under $10. The smells rolling out of this place alone are worth half that sometimes. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g152515-d3204546-Reviews-Tacos_Guss-Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Crazy, PJ. Only been to Cabo as a day stop on a cruise ship. Did get to see a whale and had the lobster tacos at Sammy's at lunch, along with the house margarita! Cabo Wabo, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRippley Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Tony, that is all we had done before this trip, saw enough good things on the cruise ship that I wanted to go back and stay a while! Just thought of you as I had a wonderful Belgian Saison at one of our local tap houses. Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
