We're Baaack!

Hola mi Amigos! We are back in the states, and already pining to go back to white sandy beaches. It is daunting to try to wrap up our vacation into a neat, concise little blog post so get ready for a trio of Mexican blogs.

We had a great time, soaked up a lot of rays, and enjoyed spending lots of time with Ryan and Katie. Our first day is definitely a contender for the most memorable as Ryan hit the margaritas with full force at noon and didn't stop until about 1AM. I am not embellishing at all when I say the next morning, everyone we came into contact with either a) asked about Ryan's condition or b) came up to Katie/Ryan like Ryan was a celebrity.

At dinner that night, Ryan was FULL of stories, and ordered up some tequila shots....that came warm. GROSS.



The beach was very nice, and VERY coral-y. Nate and I went on a beach run the second night, and enjoyed the sunset. We headed into town for dinner that night, and some dancing. We got some good authentic Mexican at La Choza. This picture cracks me up because our waiter took it and clearly it is very important that we get what is under the table...
Enter: Senor Frogs, and yardsticks of alcohol. AND, Nate getting roped into a frozen drink chugging contest. AND, Ryan getting pulled onto the dance floor by an 'older lady'...who turned out to be staying at our resort.



And then Katie was done with Senor Frogs, and we ordered up some waters..only to be made fun of by Ryan the rest of the vacation. Here is is doing his new dance move: "The Grandma". Note: this move cannot be done without a chair to use as a walker.

Katie and I did an extreme amount of researching before booking this trip. In none of our research did we find any reviews that said "Warning: you may spit out more food than you consumer." But it should have said that...and we did. The week started out on a light note, with us making lots of jokes about how bad the food was. We went around the table each meal and said what the worst thing was. But by the end of the week the jokes had stopped. Ryan was in protein withdrawal, and I was in an overdose of guacamole and ice cream.
This was our sentiment after the first ala carte restaurant Los Olivos:

After a highly-disappointing dinner, we walked down to Albertos (a little oceanside place) for a good lunch, and a $150 lobster that we did not buy.

Stay tuned.....

OH this is just making my night.
I have laughed out loud. Ryan is so hilarious. Who doesn't want to be that guys best friend? I love the "older lady" photo. You guys look so HAPPY and TAN. Fun reading. Also love the photo outside the restaurant. That's a bummer.
