Hello again, Here is an update on the next leg of my trip. Arrived in Mexico City ok and made it too the hostel without getting mugged or anything so things were looking pretty dandy. Have been staying right near the Zocalo or central square of the city near the Palace and other tourist attractions. Have enjoyed Mexico City more than I was expecting to, preconception was that it was going to be dirty and polluted and overcrowded. Well haven’t noticed the pollution directly although it is visible along the sky line, it is busy but not overpowering and no dirtier than other parts of Mexico. Took a day trip out to the Aztec ruins at Teotihuacán which are a large set of ruins famous for the 2 massive pyramids - ‘Pyramid of the sun’ and ... read more

Cabo San Lucas is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. We began the day bright and early with a little B and E. Forget brunch. We are more into breaking and entering. We had most of the day free and decided to explore the lavish mansions on the hillside. What we didn’t realize until we got up the first 5 massive hills (I’m talking 60 degree inclines here), was that the community was gated. Not a problem for us! We waited until we saw someone leaving and caught the gate behind her as if we belonged. I think my cute sundress helped ;) Our explorations led us to some of the most beautiful homes and views I have ever experiences. Perhaps when we win our first multi-million dollar lottery jackpot, we’ll buy ... read more

An appropriate theme for our honeymoon would definitely be "Mule" or “donkey.” In Mazatlan, we took a ferry to a small island off the coast and stayed at a beach for the day. It was a bit overcast, but interesting nonetheless. We spent most of the day lounging by the shore. After lunch we did the next most obvious thing… we took a short excursion riding more donkeys around the island. This time, I had a donkey willing to behave itself.... These donkeys or mules of whatever they are made us sad, though. They just looked overworked and underfed. I wanted to smuggle them off of the island and home to Missouri, but common sense prevailed. How would I get them into my luggage? The most interesting part of the day was the piñata. I have ... read more
