This last weekend, Brian and I decided to be spontaneous; we booked a flight out to Los Cabos, Mexico on Friday afternoon, and jetsetted there Saturday morning, arriving just in time for a glistening sunset at
Hotel El Ganzo Design Boutique in San Jose del Cabo. Being my first time in Cabo, I expected cheesy clubs, inebriated folks yelling out "cabo wabo!" on the street corners, and colorful umbrella's in every cocktail. Boy was I wrong! Or perhaps I was right, and we just happened to avoid that region, known as Cabo San Lucas. Because let me tell you, San Jose del Cabo is so adorably artsy and modern and not cheesy at all! My parents had chosen Hotel El Ganzo to celebrate my dad's 70th jubilee. And being all spontaneous, we decided to go surprise them. It worked.
Our 3 day adventure included: a private beach (private because we happened to be the only people there) accessed via water taxi across the marina, dips into the Sea of Cortez,
an organic farm on deserted sand dunes, strolls through the downtown
arts district, tamarind cocktails (the hotel's welcome drink, choice of tequila or rum...welcome indeed),
underground recording studios, lots of tequila, and so much inspiring design (and not because of said tequila). I spent the last morning wandering the hotel with my ipad, making sure I documented every single artsy crevice for a serious pinterest-a-thon, coming soon. (I really need a new camera).
