Greetings! You’re in Los Cabos – and so am I. I am over-the-moon to be here, and delighted to be the Editor of Los Cabos Magazine. True story: When I was a young girl in New York, my uncle was a world-traveler, who would always come back with wonderful pictures of the places he had been. After his trip to the México City Olympics in 1968, I was fascinated with the photos of colorful fiesta dresses, the crowds of people, the grandeur of the sights, and the “Mexican Jumping Beans” he brought us. I went to my map of the world and added a destination pin to México City. While I was there, I moved my finger west to the Baja Peninsula, and focused on its southern tip where the land ended. I read Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, and took some time wondering who could possibly live there. Did anyone? What would they do? What did it look like? At that moment, I promised myself that someday I would go and learn for myself. When I first visited here in 1993, I found my answers. Visiting twice a year since then, I knew that I would someday make Los Cabos my home. And so I have. With this issue of Los Cabos Magazine, you may be enticed to do the same.
