Remember this Joni Mitchell song from the 70’s? It is very apropos for what is going on in Cabo San Lucas these days. Cabo is FINALLY getting some long needed attention to urbanization issues that have been neglected and set aside. This past year has seen many of our downtown streets closed off, dug up with new drainage, electrical, sewer and water treatment installations put into place. Without a doubt is has been a big inconvenience with traffic patterns being altered and daily changes to the route coming as a surprise, but it’s almost finished and the improvements that are currently in place are definitely appreciated. Your next visit to your Cabo home will highlight these improvements, so please be patient and grateful for a better and more efficient downtown area. Those of us who live here year-round are very happy to see our tax revenues being put to work!

Here in Cabo we gauge the economic recovery based on the number of tourists we see downtown, in the restaurants and at the airport. One indication of the continued recovery happened a week ago when five cruise ships all entered the harbor on the same day! Hundreds of happy cruisers came to our shores to enjoy Cabo. The marina promenade was full, restaurants were bustling and tourists were picking up lots of souvenirs to take home. We knew they were coming so everyone was ready and even the ongoing road construction didn’t dampen the mood! For us here in Cabo, this was a great day and high season is just around the corner. October starts fishing tournament season, so stay tuned for all the news.
