<\/p>\n

That was at once the fastest and slowest two weeks of my life. I highly recommend taking a Green Tortoise<\/a> trip at least once. You won’t regret it. We laughed from San Francisco to Cabo Pulmo and back.<\/p>\n

Most days started with the sunrise<\/a>, wether we were en route or camped out, the sun pretty much set the start time of the day. We all chipped in and prepared 70% of our meals so the morning would be consumed with laying out food<\/a>, chowing down and cleaning up. From there we’d either jump into whatever activities<\/a> were available or hit the road. We would drop everything about 2 hours from sundown to start dinner prep. The meals were amazing, from fresh fish and scallops to mushroom stroganoff, I never knew you could eat so well out of the bottom of a bus. After dinner<\/a> we’d typically sit around a campfire<\/a> and do what you do around camp fires. Only once did things decend into a rather scary game of “Truth or Dare”. There were lots of cards played, Scrabble throwdowns and Cribbage and Chess matches to be had. We were lucky enough to have an astronomer on the trip and Dan brought a modified telescope and gave us lessons about the heavens on the beach most nights. Magic.<\/p>\n

Best Moment: Whale Watching<\/a> at Ojo de Liebre<\/p>\n

Best Sunrise: Tie between Agua Verde<\/a> & Cabo Pulmo<\/a><\/p>\n

Best Meal: Fresh Tiger Shrimp & Pesto Pasta<\/p>\n

Best Hike: Down to Agua Verde<\/a><\/p>\n

Craziest Meal: Goat meat tortillas<\/p>\n

Best Feeling: Showers whenever you could catch one!<\/p>\n

Best Piece of Gear: Headlamp, spare roll of TP at Cabo Pulmo<\/p>\n

So, I dare you to check out the Green Tortoise webpage<\/a> and tell us where YOU would go?<\/p>\n
