This trip was magical (for more reasons than one)!
Sunset at El Pabellon
I don't know if it was the the amazing rehash of our trip 7 years ago, the engagement, the places we have fallen in love with, the places that we hold deep in our memories and heart from these places, that new love feeling we still had 7years ago, the allure of Mexico itself, or the amazing off the beaten path adventure feeling you get when we go to these place,...

For those of you who don't know the story, kind of know the story, or love the story...
here is our love story.
Maddie + Jimi
Part 1
To start, I must tell you, I fell for Jimi pretty much from day one. I met Jimi in April of 2002 when I came down to the NAC to try out outrigger paddling for the first time. That day I was put into a 12 person canoe...
