Viva Los Cabos!!

So many pictures I love.....NOT on my camera.

I'll post the ones I like from my camera today, and as soon as some of my peeps.....(JEANETTE).... email me the ones from her camera, I will be satisfied with the completion of my Mexico musings.

SO MUCH FUN!!! 2 full weeks of beach volleyball, intense ping pong, kayaking the Sea of Cortez, parasailing, EATING, water volleyball, all you can eat buffets, pacific sunsets, barking geckos, and last but not least...Mexican Bingo.

This is our resident gecko endearingly named Juanito.

Did you know that geckos bark, and ONLY between the hours of midnight and 6 am??


Me and Jeanette. She rocks.
This is the day after Matt and Jeanette arrived. We had already been there for 5 days. I refused to take any pictures until I had a nice tan. Jeanette called that vain. I call that "Prior Preparation Prevents Poor [Picture taking]."


Matty and my mom
The ping pong was intense and so fun. We did a tournament of the family. I won. This must be a shot from the loser's bracket. ;) The only person I couldn't beat was Miguel, the Activities Director, who gets paid to play this game 8 hours every day for the past 7 years.

this is Miguel (on left) and Carlos. They work the Activities center. They have my dream job. Getting paid to do beach volleyball, water volleyball, water aerobics, ping pong...all day long every day.

The food.
Isn't it beautiful? (the food, not Spencer's hairy chest)

I just love this picture of Jeanette

This is one of the many buffets at Le Nao. (LOL...I LOVE my mom's face in the background)
This is my family and me surrounding the dessert portion of the buffet. (our favorite)

Spence and myself
This is the incredible Christmas tree in the main lobby.

This is dinner at The Bistro at sunset. INCREDIBLE view.
The men
The women


On Sunday after going to the Christmas devotional at a church building close by,

we went to this awesome italian restaurant in town. Ed, our escort, bought us ladies these beautiful roses.

The sunrise

The sunset

What is so awesome about where we stay is we get to see both the sunrises and sunsets, because we are at the very southern most tip of the Baja Peninsula. We get both sides!!

Me
This is on our balcony. right on the beach, ....yeah, I know.


And here we come to the section of black and white photos. We didn't look at the setting of our camera before we started snapping. Of course, it had to be the day of kayaking and parasailing. But at least the video is in color.
This is Spencer doing his 'Daniel Craig-James Bond' strut.
hotness.

I highly recommend kayaking, but only on rivers and streams. I'd rather go back to 3 adays for college volleyball then kayak the Sea of Cortez anyday.
On Lover's Beach.

This was HILARIOUS!!
Matt had climbed over to these rocks, and was imitating/tormenting this pelican for about 15 minutes. I was awaiting tragedy. Turns out pelicans are pansies.

AND THIS WAS AWESOME!! PARASAILING!!!

AHHHH...back to color

After we kayaked back to the main land and RESTED from that feat of strength and endurance, we carbo loaded here for dinner.

The next night Spencer, Matt, JZ and I went over to Cilantro's at Blanco resort for a fiesta!

This is Spencer knocking the junk out of a pinata.

Let me explain this one:

Matt is called on stage with 2 other men. Other men get tequila down there throats that Matt had refused. Then each man had to put a handful of ice in his mouth, then sing "La Cucaracha" while dancing. The winner left with free drink coupons.

go matt.


Mom and me
This is at the beach in front of our resort.

This is the activity pool. There will be more pictures of pool volleyball and water aerobics when my peeps (JEANETTE) come thru with the pics.

Here is one of the water aerobics pics after Matt & JZ left. You can't tell, but I was laughing sooooo hard I was about to puke. The guy with the beard on the left. His name is Mitch. One of the funniest people I have ever come across. We left with a ton of "Mitch quotes".

The morning of our departure.

The afternoon of our departure overlooking the vastness of peace, beauty and tranquility.

See you again in 2 months Cabo!!
