San Carlos, Mexico



When I left Mallorca it was emotional–I was also closing the chapter on my boat, leaving it behind.



Our boat was docked center right in this picture... too tiny of a dot to even see. I said goodbye to my boat and to the Med at the same time.



I flew back to Phoenix to visit my family and promptly departed on a road trip to San Carlos, Mexico with friends. Here is one of the many roadside shrines along the way that someone snapped a picture of for me.



The iconic peaks of San Carlos towering over the water greeted us.



Wolfed down "big donkey" burritos and tacos at the local taco stand.



Stocked up on grub for the trip. Don't forget the tortillas, they're fresh baked and on sale!



We celebrated birthdays with the mini cakes we found.



And enjoyed the lazy beach life at the Soggy Peso.



And their Pina Coladas.



Wrestled with the hammocks.



...well, some of us anyway.



Filled ourselves with fresh guacamole, chips and salsa.



Walked the beaches and explored the areas.



The resident roof dog at the corner store.



Joined my parents on their sailboat for a day out on the water.



Snorkeled.



And enjoyed a sunset sail.



Flocks of birds heading to wherever it is they go each night passed overhead.



Spent evenings enjoying the beach at sunset. (And awaiting the hurricane that never came.)





Thanks to everyone for letting me steal your pictures. And for taking pictures with me in them. :)



Trunk picnicking on our way back to Arizona.

Woa, the pic of me on the hammock is so contrasty/saturated! Good times, good times. :)
