Happy Anniversary in Mexico!

Three years ago today Eric and I were traveling through Baja on our motorcycle on our way down to Cabo San Lucas to get married. Along the way we saw some amazingly beautiful places, ate some great food, and met some fantastic people. We spent 4-5 days making our way down to Cabo, met some guys on bikes to ride along with for a few days, met our families in Cabo, got married, celebrated for a few days, and took our time making our way back up to San Diego for our honeymoon on the bike. We had a total of two weeks for this trip, and every second of it sticks in my memory like it was last week.

Torta from El Trailero just outside of Ensenada. Holds the gold metal for the best torta I've ever had.


Hussong's bar, a popular bar in Ensenada


We met these guys in Loreto a couples days after we started our trip. After a few beers, we discovered they were on their way down to La Paz and would be leaving the next day, so we all decided to drive down together. It was fun having some company for a few days. The guy on the left actually ended up coming to our wedding.


We all stayed at a hostel in La Paz together, met some other interesting people, and all grabbed a bite to eat together.



A Bundle of cacti makes for a good bathroom break in the middle on nowhere. Notice Eric on the road. 


Some hostels/hotels let us park our bike inside their courtyard for security.

We were serenaded by this Guinness book of world record winner for man who could spend the longest time on his unicycle, who also happens to be the owner of the restaurant we ate at and a pretty good guitar player and singer.

I am happy to say that we are celebrating our three year anniversary traveling through Mexico once again on our motorcycle this year. While the rushed feeling just isn't the same as having two whole weeks to take our time, these five day stretches have been exhausting but just as memorable as those two weeks in Baja just three years ago.Tomorrow we arrive back in Puerto Vallarta.
