Food, beers, & a Wedding!!!

We just got our hundreds of pics from our wedding in digital format and we are so excited to share some with you. This post is on food, but there will be more to come on the actual place. Our photographer did an amazing job to say the least. If you are thinking about someone for your wedding you seriously need to consider her. Check her out at QWeddings. The place where we got married is called Hotelito Desconocido, probably one of the best private, intimate, and breathtaking beaches in Mexico. The name says it all, it is definitely a hidden hotel gem with impeccable service and a setting that will make you never want to leave.


The dinner table awaits the authentic handmade Mexican food.


What better breakfast than menudo after a night of hard partying!



I just love this beautiful and lively picture of beans, one of Mexico's many treasures.



Huachinango (snapper) a la parrilla with some garden fresh squash, chayote, and onions. Simple, healthy, and beautiful.


Da beers. Gotta have these ice cold, especially when its about 85 degrees and lots of humidity, plus we were celebrating. I do prefer negra's though, let's be clear on that one.

San Francisco Solo




I recently visited the bay area sans Juanito and
I had to post a few pictures from the
Academy of Sciences.
Living roof, rainforest, penguins, glowing jellysfish....
you have to see the sea dragons and the male cardinalfish,
which incubates the eggs and cares for the young in his mouth!


And what better way to say it?
