Another Stamp In My Passport

Craig and I recently had a very relaxing trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The trip was a surprise to me.  I only found out about a week before we left town.  Craig wanted it to be a surprise for my birthday.

This trip we decided would be nothing but pure relaxation and that is what it was; tons of laying on the beach and just walking around town.

We stayed at what was basically a bed and breakfast call The Bungalows.  While it was not in a house it was small with a total of 16 rooms each with it's own hammock.   It was just a about a mile from the beach and a shorter walk to everything else.  So we took advantage of the close proximity of everything and just walked everywhere.

Craig was in heaven

The breakfasts each morning were fantastic.  I wish the señoras who prepared the meals would come to my house and cook breakfast.

Each morning was a different fruit plate which was a variety of mango, honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon and kiwi.  We had fresh juices of watermelon, papaya and hibiscus.  The main breakfast dishes we were served were a vegetable omelet, apple pancakes with walnuts, banana pancakes with walnuts, Mexican style eggs benedict and cinnamon french toast with a cream cheese and walnut filling.

Needless to say we were glad we were walking every place.

We tried out a few of the street side cafes.  Our favorite was a little open air taqueria.  We walked by several times and it smelled delicious so we had to give it a try.  It tasted even better than it smelled!!!

The only 2 "adventures" we took were a zip-line and repel excursion and a sunset cruise of the Sea of Cortez and a short jaunt around the peninsula to the Pacific Ocean side.

The zip-lining was a blast.  We rode 9 different lines.  The longest being around 300 yards with a speed of approximately 35 miles per hour.  There was just 1 repel site at the half way point of the zip-line course.  It was a 180 foot cliff.  It was exciting and I handled it like a pro.  Several other women went to the edge, started crying and refused to even try.

The sunset cruise was beautiful.  We saw the famous arch, a pack of sea lions and a humpback whale spout.  The boat captain tried to catch up with the whale for a better look but he was gone in a flash.  At least we saw the spout and a little of the tale.

The rest of the time we were just lounging beach side doing absolutely nothing.

You don't swim on the Pacific side because of what you see here.

Can't wait to go back!!!!
