Cabo: Part 2

The next morning we decided to do some exploring. We hopped in the Jeep and headed out to San Jose, the town just east of Cabo. Along the way, we pulled off the freeway a couple times to check out some beaches and other resorts. It was another beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky.

We eventually made our way to San Jose and found a place to park to do some looking around. We came across a rooftop bar called Shooters and stopped in for some drinks. The Civil War game (OSU vs. U of O) was on, and there were some Beaver fans at the table next to us. I tried to be friendly and said we were rooting for them even though we were Huskies (everyone hates the Ducks), but they just turned their noses to us, so I guess I hate all of Oregon now.

ahhh, Mexico

We saw on our map that there was a place called Baja Brewing Co. We thought that'd be a fun place to check out, so we walked along the under construction streets to find it. It was a little dead in there (maybe too early for their crowd) and were greeted by the American owner. Him and some friends thought Cabo needed a place with good beer and pizza, who could argue with that?! We sampled a few of their beers that are brewed there in Baja and ordered a pesto shrimp wood fired pizza to share. The beers were alright, maybe a little flat. Then our pizza came, which was delicious. We each had a piece before Clint noticed a little friend crawling on a shrimp. A little tiny wormy bug, disgusting. The owner came by and apologized and took our pizza off the bill, and offered us to order another one. We didn't want to take our chances, which was a shame since it looked and tasted so good!

watch your step

womp womp :(

Unfulfilled, we walked back to the car and stopped at a little place off the street for some tacos (I guess we should know better than to try to eat pizza in Mexico). They ended up being delicious and bug free!

We then drove back to the condo, and walked around to check out the grounds. We came across the Mona Lisa restaurant, and were blown away by the views! We decided then that we must eat dinner here before we left, especially since it was so close.

Back at the condo, it was cocktail hour so we made ourselves some margaritas and had some chips and guac. We then thought it'd be fun to go into town for the night. We had the guard at the front gate call a taxi for us, and we headed to Squid Roe. The town sure changes from day to night. The streets were filled with people bar hopping and living it up. We had a fun night and made it home later safe and sound.

sure we're not getting ripped off with the bill

The next day was uneventful, like really. I'm embarrassed to even say we didn't step foot outside the condo! We slept in, stayed in our pj's all day, and were glued to the couch as we had a Breaking Bad marathon. We finished every episode on Netflix and thought at least now we wouldn't be tempted to stay inside and watch anymore for the rest of the trip. I only got stir crazy a couple times (couldn't we have at least made it 10 feet to lay by the pool?), but I have to admit, it was kinda fun being a couch potato all day and not having to feel guilty about it.
