!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
Friendsgiving and familygiving. Happy turkeys and fancy wines. Nali snuggles and baby nephew snuggles. Starbucks family Thanksgiving and a failed yoga class done at home.
