Tuesday Los Cabos Tour - Glass Makers

We took a ship-arranged "Coastal Highlights" tour of the Los Cabos area. The first stop was a glass makers' shop in town where they showed us how they blow glass. The demo was pretty neat and very quick. The turtle took about 6 minutes from start to finish. The rest of these photos are from the glasswork shop.
