Mexican Skunk Dance

I’m glad you guys are enjoying my tips for navigating the veg friendly parts of Cabo San Lucas… For our last night in Cabo we went to Hacienda El Coyote for dinner.  The interior was on the eclectic side, but this was still probably one of the more “fancy” restaurants we went to. In addition to the restaurant area, they had a Tequila Lounge, and a few different outside seating areas. Navigating the wine list was the first priority after being seated. Check. Second order of business, the menu. Kyle started with a tomato salad… Read more >

Los Seis Favoritos

1. Cabo Coffee Co. This was some damn fine coffee!  The Cabo Coffee Company has two locations in Cabo, and if I had even an inch of extra space in my suitcase, I’d find a way to smuggle a few pounds home with me.  Looks like those souvenir shot glasses are gonna get the boot.  😉 Paired with some lactose free milk (leche deslactosada)… Nothing like some fresh local java to put some pep in your step (not that anyone needs to be productive while in Mexico…). Runner up coffee selection goes to Blason Premium… Read more >

Villa Sonrisa

Hello from Cabo San Lucas! Last time I was here was January of last year and it was so fun I have no idea why I haven’t returned sooner…oh wait…there was that little job thing… Now, I feel like I’m on summer vacation.  Even though living out of a suitcase can get old, I’m very aware of how lucky I am to be able to spend time off (post-move/pre-wedding) relaxing, visiting with friends, family, etc. Prior to heading to the airport on Thursday morning, Kyle and I made a few essential stops. 1. Starbucks [non-pictured… Read more >

Pradeep’s on Montana

There are several areas on the Westside that I adore, one of which is Montana Ave.  Since our friends live nearby, they took us to Pradeep’s. I love Indian food!  (Side note: I just discovered that this place has nutritional information available online if you’re into that…for some reason that seems a bit bizarre for an Indian restaurant in my opinion…not sure why, but whatever). We started with the “famous samosas” which were filled with vegetables, mint and tamarind chutney, and then fried to crispy perfection.  Yum.  Not heavy or greasy at all.  Simply delicious….

LA Love

After saying goodbye to this: And saying hello to this: I LOVE YOU CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about feeling like I returned home.  Everything feels right in the world now.  Seriously.  There is no other way to describe it.  I just feel like – at long last – I’m back to the city where I am meant to be.  Kyle and I have been running all around So Cal, seeing friends, organizing our lives, buying a car, frequenting the WF hot bar, frequenting Starbucks, and y’know, just vegging out.  Oh, did I mention the WF hot bar?… Read more >
