We had pretty low expectations upon departure. When your parents tell you they bought a trailer (yes, a trailer) in Mexico you wonder if they've gone off the deep end. But when we saw the town and especially the ocean, we totally got it. This is the view from their place....
You see what I mean?
The town was super cute and a nice mix of tourism and everyday life. It had everything a picky American would need while still feeling authentic. Our favorite spot in town was a coffee shop about a block away from my parent's place. It was ran by a young American couple who recently moved there from Washington. The beans were roasted on sight and shoes were optional. It's my new happy place...
They also had two dogs...
Coffee, dogs, and palm trees. There is absolutely nothing better.
On top of the dogs at the coffee shops there were dogs everywhere in town! Dogs, cows, chickens, goats, you name it, they all ran wild. Basically my version of heaven.
We went to Cabo for two days to visit some family friends that have a time share there. Cabo was its own type of fun. One word: party! It was hoppin' with college students on spring break. It was fun to watch the craziness and be in a bigger town. That was the place for great shopping (I love bargaining!) and it was as equally gorgeous as Los Barriles...
This trip will go down as one of my favorite vacations ever! We miss it so much and talk about it on a daily basis. Honestly, if it was possible we'd move there. That's how much we loved it.
We can't wait to go back!
