I would much prefer that he doesn't accept your offer. He would only see what he wants to see anyway.
What was that old quote? "There are none so blind as those who are unwilling to see"

Steve, there is not one word nor indication in your first post that you are in La Paz. Nada. Bubkis. Not my fault I cannot read your tortured mind.
And the headline of the story is not "Los Cabos"as you are trying to tell us. It is Cabo San Lucas.

How soon you forget it wasn't that long ago you knew ALL about me--or don't you remember lecturing my friends about who I was? Now, as it turns out,
you don't even know I live in La Paz?
And, as for the headline--not being a local, you wouldn't know that around here, people refer to that area as "Los Cabos" as in "voy a ir a Los Cabos
maņana." "Los Cabos" was invented as a name brand by the Mexican Government in about 1980 when the area was selected as one of the first five
Mega-tourist resort poles. Before then, there existed at the very tip of the peninsula the sleepy cannery town of Cabo San Lucas, which had one of the
first fly-in resorts, built in the 1960s. About forty miles up the dirt road along the coast was the old mission town of San Jose del Cabo. When the
government designated "Los Cabos" as a destination, they were basically creating a tourist corridor that runs between the two capes.
But anyway, no word on my offer. What's the matter, afraid a little reality might make your illusions harder to maintain?
I've already received several u2u's that say I'm wasting my time, that you'll only see what you want to see, that there are better people to drink a
beer with...but I just can't help wondering...

There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

your mom/family end up in La Paz at the end of WW11??

Actually, that was my stepfather's idea of what a proper archaeologist's vehicle should look like. In practice, it was a totally inadequate, heavy,
hot, slow, thirsty and rough ride with the turning radius of a Mack truck. I remember many a hairpin turn on grades such as Infiernillo outside Santa
Rosalia (13 switchbacks) that required backing up with brakes that were always suspect. No fun, even for kids. I think I have a slide somewhere of the
old truck I may be able to find, I'll keep it handy for the next time this topic comes up.
