On day 4 of Cabo, we finally felt like we were starting our vacation and jam packed the day full of activities. Starting with me cooking breakfast again while Clint had to do some work before heading out.

| gorgeous day! |

We walked down to the marina so we could catch a water taxi over to the main beach and do some exploring. Before finding a ride, we watched them clean and filet some marlin that had just been caught. The pelicans were out in full force waiting for scraps.

Before getting to Medano Beach, we took a tour of the arch and Lover's Beach.

The taxi dropped us off right in front of Billygan's (a bar on the beach) and said he'd be back in a couple hours…just ask the guy for Captain Penguin.
We walked along the beach checking out all the bars and resorts, while being hassled about 30 times by vendors. We finally cut across up to the road to get out of the mayhem and headed Baja Brewing Co. They're up on the roof of a resort, so the view was pretty cool up there.

After a couple beers, we found a street taco shop and got some pork carnitas and carne asada. It was delicious!

We got back to the beach just in time for Captain Penguin to pick us up and take us back to the marina.

We had scheduled our horseback adventure for that afternoon, so we went back to the room to change before the shuttle picked us up from the lobby.
The shuttle took us to the Sanlugueña Ranch where we'd meet our tour guide. It was just Clint and I, so we checked out the stables and all the other animals while the horses got ready for us.

I haven't been on a horse in forever, so I was a little nervous. I hopped on Princessa, and our guide told me all the commands. While he left to help Clint on his horse (Indio), I tried to get Princessa to walk forward by doing what I was told. She was stubborn and just shook her head…guess only our guide was going to be able to get her to do anything.
Once on the horses, our guide led us down towards the beach. Horses aren't allowed on the beach in Cabo, but he said we could walk towards it and look at the beach. How exciting?

| ready! |

We then took the scenic route back towards the ranch to ride along the trails, passing by Wal Mart.
 |
| so pretty? |
My horse liked to stick close to Clint's horse's ass. She even head butted him a few times. Fortunately, she moved out of the way for Indio to poop, but was right back on him afterwards. Guess she liked being close.
 |
| nose to butt |
We finally made a turn into some of the trails where it got a lot more pretty…trees, cactus, quails.

After an hour of bouncing around on a leather saddle in shorts, we finally went back to the stables.
Back at the ranch, our guide asked me if I'd like to see a donkey drink some Coke. Um, of course! As soon as we started walking over, the donkey saw the beer bottle and started going crazy for it, what a lush! He poured some Coca-Cola into the bottle and the donkey went to town. Silly donkey.
 |
| We also checked out the llamas... |
 |
| and her crazy teeth |
Riding horses is hard work, so we rewarded ourselves with dinner and drinks at Mi Casa. I've been told by a few people to check this place out when you're in Cabo, and I'm glad we did! The place is decorated really cool, and the food is delicious. I'd definitely go back. Since it was a little early for dinner, we were the first ones there and had the place to ourselves.

After dinner, it was back to the resort where we hit the hot tub before calling it a night and watched a movie back in our room.
We woke up to another perfect day, and it was straight to the beach. We pulled some lounge chairs down towards the water and enjoyed the nice peace and quiet while getting some reading done (me on my kindle, and Clint with his audio books).

We had decided to sign up for the resorts all-inclusive deal for the minimum of three days to end our trip, so lunch on Tuesday was our first included meal. We ate at the Brigatine (one of the restaurants) and gorged ourselves on fish tacos, tortilla soup, and cerveza. After lunch, we changed our lounging scenery by laying out by the pool and order some more fun drinks.

The resort was very family friendly, and had activities going on constantly. We were talked in to playing black jack in the community center that afternoon. We didn't win the grand prize (free dinner and drinks), but had fun playing anyways.

To take full advantage of all-inclusive, we grabbed sushi at the Calima restaurant after black jack before heading back to the room to get ready for dinner. Then just a short 2 hours later, it was time to eat again. We went back to the Brigatine for grill night, which was delicious. We also made friends with our server who brought us out a sampling of aperitifs after our meal. He also sent us off with a to-go container of ice cream which we ate in bed while watching more Breaking Bad before calling it a night.
