The Honeymoon

No way am done talking about the wedding. I have more photos come from the Portland festivities. Until then I'll share a little from the honeymoon. We went to Cabo San Lucas. We stayed at the beautiful hotel right on the beach.

The peninsula we were on separated the water into two sections or beaches. The one side of the peninsula was calm enough to swim in. It is known as Lover's beach. Unfortunately we were on the other side of the peninsula where the water is very rough. That side is known as Divorce Beach. Most people took a boat to get to Lovers Beach, but luckily we found a short cut that involved a hike (not ideal for someone like me who is terrified of heights). We found it because a bunch of locals kept heading toward this rocky cliff area that separated the two sides of the peninsula. We followed them and ventured on the hike. It was so fun once we got to Lover's Beach.
This is what we hiked up!

We also went to the older town San Jose Los Cabos to see the old cathedrals and to get some fun souvenirs.
We ate plenty of good food, not just mexican but italian and american. We also found a lot of little beaches only the locals seemed to go to. My favorite adventure was going on the ATV rides through the desert and along the beach. We love riding 4-wheelers but had never done it in that setting. We even saw a little road runner. I was surprised it was so small, that loony toons cartoon is so deceiving :).
One day we rented a car and headed out to see the Hotel California (like in that Eagles song). This is in a small town about an hour away called Todos Santos. I loved it there because it seemed a little less commercial then San Lucas. I was obsessed with the decor at the hotel and took way too many pictures. We also got a bite to eat before heading back to San Lucas.
While we were out the hotel staff surprised us by decorating out room with some swans and rose pedals. Oh yeah!
Here's some other photos from the Honeymoon from the food and beach to the streets of Mexico and us.
