An exhausting and exhilarating day

We just moved into a new downtown apartment last weekend, yet we still haven’t quite gotten all of our stuff moved in. So today we were over at our old place in the lovely suburb “Miramar,” which roughly translates in English as “you can see the sea.” Ya, right. The only view we ever had of the ocean was from our roof, and even from up there the view wasn’t always clear. Yep, there’s very little that I’ll miss from Miramar, except for our super cool neighbor Carla and her dog Roma, who happens to be exactly the same age as my son Oliver, seven months old.

The exhausting part of the day was actually just getting to Miramar since we had to take the bus. (I’ll save another post for our present car situation). If you think riding the bus is an interesting experience north of the border, you ought to try riding public transport down here in Cabo. For one thing, all of the buses are old U.S. school buses, and the ones that go to Miramar are the tiny, short buses that only have enough room for vertically challenged people like me to stand up in. Yes, all this and more in the glamorous tourist destination of Los Cabos!

The cake baking was the exhilarating part of the day. Yes indeed, I baked a cake, a chocolate bundt cake! I'm on the lookout for ways to make money at home, and it looks like cake baking for local cafes may be a gainful endeavor. Tomorrow will be the test when I deliver the cake to the Hangout Café, a local café where we tend to hangout quite a bit since you can buy one Tazo tea and then sit around for hours surfing the net and even make a free long distance call. Well, wish me luck!
