Mexico!

Who passes down a free trip to Mexico the week before a marathon?  Not us!  Because we are not hard core runners - heehee.  We were part of a group of 20 or so folks that headed down for a quick 4 day trip on October 21st to Guadalajara, Tequila, and Puerta Vallarta.  We took a tour of the Corona brewery, hit up Jose Cuervo distillery, and then spent a day plus relaxing in the sun.  It was a great trip, but too short.  Probably a good thing for us since we were getting drinks shoved in our face 24/7. 

Sunset in Guadalajara.  It is a cool city.  Very metropolitan and sassy.

Hmmm big ole beers

Dinner!

Mr. Cuervo.  Not really, but he's their spokesperson, representative, and global figurehead for the distillery.  He was on the cover of Time magazine... or Life maybe.  I can't remember because I was too entralled with the ridiculously sharp tools he was using and hoping he didn't lose a toe.  Silly me, he's a professional at pruning agave. 

Nibbling on a piece of agave



Lunch at Jose Cuervo.... and see that margarita on the table?  We had a new one with every course.  And there were 5 courses.  Redic.



This is OUT of the bus window on our couple hour drive to Puerta Vallarta... the countryside was gorgeous.  If one looked IN to the bus, it consisted of tipsy people drinking beers and more margs while watching Will Ferrell movies. 

Some of you will probably recognize this place because you have been there before!  Dreams Resort in Puerta Vallarta.  Gorgeous.

We had the best dinner with this gentleman.  All of us left saying we have not laughed that hard in a long time.  Remember the country club dinner scene in Caddyshack where Rodney Dangerfield "steps on a duck" and in general the entire table is loud and obnoxious?  We were that table.



This trip solidified that I am in love with sunshine.  Love love love.  The end.
