Dia de los Adventuras

Tuesday brought a trip around the island in a one-of-a-kind Jeep. This Jeep was earned by Nate and I attending a god awful timeshare presentation. I really can't believe I agreed to this given the disaster that occurred in Vegas, but we did it and it wasn't half bad...and we got the Jeep for free.

The adventure included a few roadside stops to check out the beaches. We fell in love with Playa Bonita...the water was like a natural pool. The sand was white and soft. It was perfect. We also found some black rock beaches (pictured below).



The boys needed a beer so we stopped at a popular beach-side spot called Coconuts. This place was one of a kind with bras and underwear hanging all over and oodles of binders at the bar filled with pictures of liz-adies flashing their very own coconuts. Lucky for us we didn't discover these binders until the end of the meal.

The spot was great..on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Great view, great food...which by this point in the vacation was greatly appreciated.



I saw this sign at the bar and had to capture it for Uncle Todd...I thought he would appreciate it.

The adverturo continued with a stop at the tequila distillery. The boys went in and Katie and I stayed in the Jeep for an afternoon siesta and to soak up some more rays.

Next stop was to go see the Mayan Fertility ruins....which we never ended up seeing because when we got there the poster at the front door had a picture of the ruins an dI am not kidding you I have seen rock gardens in Minnesota bigger than these 'ruins.'

But all was not lost as Ryan felt that it was a great time for Greta to learn how to drive stick. So I did....and we did not die. Score.

We ended our Dia de los Adventuras in San Miguel checking out the shops and taking in a great dinner at Panchos Backyard. Knowing the food was going to be good we decided to celebrate Nate's birthday this night. We got some great key lime pie and a tequila shot for Nate!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes you sent to Nate while we were away. More to come on Nate's actual birthday night...
