Saint Vincent

We took a walk around the port town of Kingstown, St.Vincent the second day. Two churches were the points of most interest architecturally. The first church was St George's Cathedral and it was Anglican. The space was bright and open but the highlight was the baby goat ( they call it a Lamb) we encountered there. He was adorable and so cuddly! Scott, Memo and I all took turns holding him!

The second church, The Assumption of St. Mary, a Catholic Cathedral across the street was a hidden gem. The Cathedral took 100 years to build and the outside of the building looks very dirty, because the stone is so porous, and it can't be cleaned easily and the elements have really ravaged it over the years. However, the interior courtyards are stunning and the interior space are very nice and intimate. 

We also wandered into some of the shops and found this one in port area that was selling coustums for the next Carnival season. Prices ranged from $2,000 to $3,500 USD and it was hard to pick a favorite.

Cabo is known as a party town - I was here years ago with the girls iand remember the lively bar & restaurant scene in and around the marina. There appears to be even more, from what I recall! This was a tender port for us and we only had about 6 hours in Port. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I had planned to Uber out to the colonial, artsy town of San Jose del Cabo with a friend, but she was feeling very under the weather. So after a quick jaunt along the marina - she went back to the ship and I walked some more looking for a plan B. I ran into another friend and we decided the best way to say farewell to Mexico and use up our pesos was to drink Margaritas! So off we went and found a nice second floor deck, to oversee the marina and enjoy the scenery.
