Neal was already going nuts being with me non-stop for 36 hours so he was contemplating just jumping off into the dark abyss.
I convinced him not to so we celebrated with a "kissy picture" 
As we got off the ship, we made our way through Cabo to find the best price for a boat tour of the peninsula. We were able to convince "Freddy" to let us on the water taxi for $8 a peice. That was tremendously cheaper than our original quote from Jesus at $40.
We paid the $8 and made our way down to the pier to board our Water Taxi. The pier guard wouldn't let us pass through the gate until we paid the national "Guard Tax" of $1 each. I wasn't too convinced about this made up tax but we paid the money anyway so we could get on our water taxi
Genovie was our guide. He was hilarious and really did a great job of showing us around Cabo. We got to see manta rays, dolphins, tropical fish, and sea lions! I could not believe how much wild life was still there in such a concentrated tourist area. It was beautiful! Here is a picture of a sea lion eating a fish about 10 ft from our boat! It was SO CUTE! I tried jumping in with him but Neal stopped me because it was 'unsafe'. Maybe next time. 
Look! There's Genove on our extravegant water taxi tour!
The scenery was AMAZING! I couldn't stop taking pictures, it was just beautiful. I had my jaw dropped the entire time because I couldn't believe how pretty the rock formations were against the blue water.
This is the tip of the baja peninsula, Neal is convinced that they filmed The Count of Monte Cristo here.
More sea lions! They were seriously adorably lazy.... and pretty stinky too. But nonetheless, I loved seeing all of them. The baby sea lions were my favorite. I can't wait until they become a domesticated animal and then we'll have one for a pet in our bathtub. Lenny would love it!
Opposite of Lovers Beach is .... Divorced Beach. Genove explained "deeborsay beesh is mucho better". We took his advice and asked to be dropped off. He drove the boat as far up onto the beach as possible and we all had to jump. It was chaos, I couldn't stop laughing. We probably looking ridiculous, all of us crazy tourists with our camera's and gear ploppin' into the ocean and trying to make it to land before a huge wave hits us. So funny!
We made our way onto Lovers Beach and the first thing I wanted to do was get into the clear blue water. I am sure glad it was clear water because right when I got in past my waist a huge school of fish attached me! I saw them coming in a wave straight for me. I tried to run but refused to take my eye off their location. The next thing I know I am in a swarm of jumping tropical fish. I was screaming bloody murder while Neal was laughing louder than I've ever heard him. Luckily, I run faster then they swim and I was able to make it to shore alive.
We relaxed on the beach for a couple of hours before we had Genove pick us up. We made it back to the pier and found this thing hanging up for all to see! Apparently, Cabo is the Marlin capital of the world. If I had seen this earlier in the day there would be NO WAY I would have gone swimming in that ocean. This thing was probably 9 feet long!
Our busy day concluded with a beautiful dinner and then dancing under the stars. The cruise hosted a dance party up on the top deck. Neal and I rocked out to Bob Marley and danced the night away. I forgot how much fun it is to dance with Neal. We had a blast pretending to know how to dance 'carribbean style'. We ended up making it onto the cruise dvd because of our skills!
Before the night ended we had to get our fix of Senor Chang. Anyone watch community? A larger more asian version of Senor Chang was our piano man for the cruise. He was seriously hilarious. He had us all singing at the top of our lungs to the best of Elton John...feather boa's and tiarra's included.
