Music festival rocks
By Ed Kociela One of our favorite places to hang out is the plaza in San Jose del Cabo. We have been there for Mexican Independence Day, Day of the Dead celebrations, Christmas fiestas, and a number of other events we just sort of stumbled upon.

There’s no missing the preparations. Those who live and are visiting the Los Cabos region have seen the setup and increased security efforts for more than a week. Mexico is preparing to host the G20 Leaders’ Summit next week, from June 18 to June 19.
