Last weekend Casey and I took a quick trip to Mexico for a friends wedding. The trip there was less then pleasant, after our flight was cancelled but we got creative and somehow made it to the wedding by 6pm that night. The wedding was held on the island of Cozumel at The Palace Resort. The resort was nice, on the water and was all inclusive, so that meant all you can drink and eat..I think we certainly drank our moneys worth. After a few days at the resort we had to get out of the hotel and explore what the island had to offer. We rented a jeep, put the top down and cruised along the beaches. We had lunch at a restaurant called Coconuts that was located on top of a hill and had more amazing views then food. We stopped at one of the beaches along the way and took a dip in the crystal clear water and on our way back we stopped by a tequila factory and tasted all of the local tequilas (highly recommended).

Pura Vida

It’s been a while since I have posted, sorry for that. Partially was because I was away for a week in Costa Rica, I know you feel sorry for me… We spent a week in Malpais, which is on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. It was no easy feat to get to this remote part of Central America but it was well worth the journey. Malpais began as a fishing and cattle ranching village but slowly has become popular among surfers, backpackers and eco travelers around the world. Malpais was recently featured in Forbes Magazine for having one of the “Top 10 Beaches in the World” and I can definitely see why. Celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen and Mel Gibson have houses there, likely as much for the privacy as its pure natural beauty. Below are a few pics from my vacation. I strongly recommend a trip to Malpais if you ever get the chance. Enjoy and Pura Vida! The monkeys that came to visit us!
