By Richard Chudy & Dolores Peralta
Most of us take vacations for the express purpose of getting
away from it all. The desks piled high with paperwork,
unmanageable schedules, unbearable bosses, traffic gridlocks and
all things necessary but at times unwanted. Cabo San Lucas is
the ultimate great escape but it isn't all that easy to find
peace and quiet in a town known for it's party atmosphere and
large, impersonal hotels and resorts. Or is it?
The good news is that a trip to the end of the world's longest
peninsula offers the life-weary a charming oasis of tranquility
just a few minutes away from the action and excitement that is
Cabo. Find your way down the transpenninsular highway south
towards Land's End, look for the new CostCo and just a short
distance past, turn right and head for the hills. At the top of
a well-maintained dirt road you'll come to discover what we've
decided is one of the best little known secrets in Los Cabos...
the Casa Contenta Bed & Breakfast Inn.
Casa Contenta is a fine example of just what can be accomplished
once you've found what it is you love to do. The owners, Craig
and Lori Harrison, are natural-born hosts whose charm and warmth
make guests like us feel most welcome. From the moment you enter
the gated compound with it's myriad gardens awash in color from
countless flowers and cacti, you start to feel the weight of the
world slide off your shoulders. Unlike arriving at a large hotel
or resort, this feels like coming home. Venture forth to the
front door and chances are that you'll find it unlocked and for
some unknown reason, you feel perfectly comfortable walking
right in.
Once inside you're greeted by unending curves and levels,
eye-grabbing artwork from Mexico and around the world and by
members of the staff that don't walk upright. Enter Solo and
