honeymoon

This is the new blog of Becca (the boo) Harbaugh and me, Darren Harbaugh. Enjoy it and cherish it. Or else, efers.

My wife, Becca Harbaugh, and I are in Puerto Vallarta on our honeymoon. I like honeymoons. The place we are staying is fantastic. They fix up our room everyday. We get new robes and chocolate. We were greeted with a glass of champagne and a massage. We have been spending a lot of time by the Oceanside pool in a swinging king size bed drinking mojitos, pina colatas, margaritas, and tequila sunsets. The sunsets (real ones) here are amazing.
Before we got to Mexico, we stayed two nights in the Omni Hotel in downtown LA. That place was really nice too, but it wasn’t near the ocean. I think it is pretty damn difficult to mess up ocean things.
I have been drinking Cuban rum and smoking Cuban cigars and watching baseball games televised in Spanish.
There are good taco, fajita, pork, breakfast, eating, shrimp, fish, potato, sandwich, yum things here.
Our room has a sweet view of the ocean. I sit on the porch and smoke my pipe (that my hot wife gave me as a wedding present) at night. Becca is hot.
I like sitting in a swinging bed by the ocean and being served drinks. I would do this forever.
There is a spa here and we have sauna and steam things. I even used free hair product on my follicles.

My wife, Becca Harbaugh, went on a canopy tour today. It consisted of ride down 10 different ziplines of varying height and length across a river. For the most part, we were 600 feet above the Rio Cuale riding ziplines of about equal distance. It was neat.


Last night we ate at a Tapas place with a great view of the bay and watched the sunset. All aspects were enjoyable. We had a queso plate and goat queso and shrimpys and yum and a tuna things with sangria. Then the dude gave us free tequila and banana chocolate things.

I am down going to smoke a Cuban Montecristo cigar and drink coffee with a chocolate/coffee flavored tequila liqueur.

Tonight I would like to eat Fish on a Stick a Puerto Vallarense specialty.

Becca’s First Entry
The wedding was amazing but surreal. It felt like a movie on speed. I was not really in the moment more an observer watching beautiful things, people, family, and friends bustle around us. The Omni downtown was classy and a perfect oasis from the craziness of the last few months. BUT Mexico is like the ultimate escape. As Darren mentioned the view is perfect as are the sunsets. The weather is sweltering hot so hiding out in our posh room with its crisp cool ac is my first choice. But once the sun goes down PV is an amazing mixture of culture and gourmet treats. I sound like our friggin tour book. So suffices to say it’s nice. Real nice. I went on a zip line as previously mentioned. I loved it. I bought my husband sweet tequila mixed with coffee. Tastes like lovin. I also love being married. Darren is hot and fun (wink wink)

More later. Not sunburned yet!


8/5/07

It is my birthday. I am 27 years old. Today was fabulous. We lounged around the pool. Becca gave me Kahlua and chocolate milk. And we ate a feast (I had rack of lamb) at a place called trio. It was de-lish. I finished reading my book “the great American novel” it was bittersweet. I am reading a good book. I wish it would last forever. Or at least longer than a few days. It is a good book and I recommend it to anyone that likes baseball or god or America or all three. Or if you are interested in scandal, communism, red scare, etc. Good bday anyhow.

We when back to this Cuban place. La Bodeguita del Medio. It is Mexican outpost of the place of the same name that Hemingway frequented for Mojitos in Havana. We had tasty mojitos and pork. And Moros y Christianos (mixed rice and beans) I need to research way it is called that. We might go snorkeling tomorrow.


8/8/07
We got sunburnt today. Becca has a bathingsuit tan. It is funny. We went on a snorkeling trip with a German man named Reinhart.

It was out second boating adventure. A couple days ago we went on a sunset sailboat cruise. It was might fine. Nice wines, meat cheeses and the relaxing tunes of Dean martin, Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Jack Johnson.

But the Reinhart cruise. Reinhart looked like David Bowie. He is an old German guy that came us to us on the beach. Becca thought he was a big gay (a “joe” as we refer to them) at first, but he is not. He talked with a funny German accent and sold us on his snorkel/ beach/good times adventures.

Reinhart zipped us around in a speedboat with five other Germans. And a lazy Mexican boat driver. Then he led us on a jungle trek where they filmed “Predator” with Ah-nold.


We swam with the fishes. The visibility wasn’t so hot because of a big rain/muddy storm, but I got to see lots of fish poop.
Last Day- Aug 9th.
We are supposed to be out of our room.. I have left the4 journal part up to Darren. This is Becca. I am sun burned. I’m sad and happy to leave. I loved our Honeymoon.
I love Darren.
I hate flying. Can’t wait to see the Pattersons in a few.
Peace out
