Our New place

Since we've decided to plant our feet in Hawaiian sand for a little bit longer, we decided that our little studio just wasn't going to cut it. It's four walls served us well, but we starting to feel the cabin fever. So, with the help of Craigslist we found our sweet little one bedroom apartment on the 26th floor of a highrise in Downtown Honolulu. It's covered entirely with white carpet and has a wall to wall view of the city view. Best of all is the Kitchen that actually has counter space! Fist thing I did when moving in was bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies. We've even filled up our empty space with a sofa bed couch (for all the visitors...hint,hint). We're quite comfortable, and even jumped the gun by buying a bassinet for the little one on the way!!!

Honey of all Moons Stop # 2 -Mazatlan!

While in Mazatlan, Nate and I bought our first boat......hahahaha, that would be nice, wouldn't it? Luckily, because of Nate's excellent Spanish skills we made friends with the captain (Jesus) of the boat, and he let us each steer for a little bit. This was our second excursion. We took a boat out to a small island where Nate and I hiked, and Kayaked. Needless to say that our Kayaking skills needed a little work as we drifted from one side to another. It was a good lesson in communication for the newly weds...and Nate spent a good amount of time doing the paddling while I enjoyed the view.

Iglesia de la Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción de Mazatlán

Nate and I took a nice walk down to the heart of Mazatlan where we toured the inside of a beautiful cathedral. Afterwards, we walked around the city, ate some mangos with lime juice from a street vendor, had a nice coke in a glass bottle,and flew a kite with some of the neighborhood ninos. We're we locals...but with blonde hair and blue eyes.

The Honey of All Moons

The day after we got married, Nate and I boarded our Ship for a seven day cruise to Mexico. Wahoo! Our first stop was Puerto Vallarta, where we took a bumpy excursion out to the country side in a nice yellow 4x4. This was raw Mexico!The trip ended at a tucked away beach where we were served a lunch of fresh tortillas, home made beans, guacamole, grilled meat and vegetables, fresh fruit, and a hard to come by virgin margarita. (Nate stared the bartender down until he gave in and made the non-alcoholic for us..heh heh). With full stomachs we ended our lunch in hammocks overlooking the ocean.



Pretty Flawless...

But wait! Our glorious day was not over! Right after we got back to our ship, Nate and I rushed out to the city and saw a real live bull fight. It was a lot to handle at first, and you're not sure whether to cheer on the bull or the matadore! Nate and I were both impressed with the moves those young matadores had...especially in such tight pants. Sheesh.

And so we begin...
