Viva Mexico!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is one long winded post about our recent 4th Honeymoon in Cabo. That said, I had a hard time trimming the photos down even this much :) This is a happy vacationer in the hotel lobby:
We spent time every day frolicking in the ocean. One thing I love about Cabo is that there is enough beach for everyone and we usually had a whole section to hang out in by ourselves.
One of the things I wanted to do on this trip was hike out to Lover's beach. We had taken a boat out there in the past, but had heard that you could hike it as well. While were were hanging out deciding if and how to do it, we watched the pelicans and seals attack this bait trap.
When we saw someone coming towards us from the assumed route, we decided to give it a go. It was super cool and we hiked out that way three times while we were there. We crawled on the rocks alongside the ocean and once we met this guy...
The terrain was sometimes iffier than others depending on the tide..
We walked across beaches that we had totally to ourselves...

At one spot along the way, we stopped and took advantage of the best snorkeling I have ever done. The first day we stopped, the water was super clear and calm. The water was shallow near the beach and there were nice schools of fish swimming around, but when you circled behind one of the rocks there was a giant drop off and a tunnel of a bazillion fish. I could hardly keep my snorkel in my mouth because I was smiling so big. It was simply amazing. We went back again on our last day and the water was pretty choppy. I'm super glad we got to experience this spot on the calm day, and even on the choppy day it was one of the coolest things I've seen.

This is the very end of the land on Divorce beach (the other side of Lover's Beach)..
We don't do the night life in Mexico, so our evenings start early and end early. We did get dressed and head out for some beers in town...


Well, we had to check this out...
...and they had a giant slide in the bar!! More bars should have slides.

John found a little stand that made the best hot dogs ever. As he reads this, no doubt his mouth will water...
Our nighttime view....
We'd walk around the marina a couple times each day to and from our different adventures...
..stopping for the occasional, OK frequent, drink...
and of course, no Cabo vacation would be complete without a couple days at the Mango Deck...
The Mango Deck is fun and we were stoked that the staff even recognized us!
We worked on our tans...

swam in the ocean....
Had some drinks....

won ourselves some beers...
JJ jet skied...
I totally rocked the wet t-shirt contest...


Another stroll around the marina as we settle in for our last night...

and tan and happy, we toast to our vacation and head back to home....

til next time....
