after being stuck at home for most of
this year
we packed our masks sanitizer and
passports and escaped to cabo for a few
days
there's nothing like some vitamin c to
boost your immune system during a global
pandemic
ah the pacific ocean so relaxing so blue
yet so dangerous
but let's start from the beginning okay
we know how this looks
traveling during a pandemic is
irresponsible and potentially harmful
or so we thought but hear us out we want
to share with you the travel updates
that convinced us to take the risk to
travel eight months into the global
pandemic
while we're at it we'll also share our
travel tips for experiencing cabo san
lucas beyond the resort culture
we are jenny and kevin with eat by the
travel we like to dance eat and enjoy
traveling with local experiences
kawa we opened to tourism with
precautions on june 15th
we were so curious to know what the new
normal of travel looked like
the tourism industry is hurting and
locals depend on it to earn a living
ah tell them the truth already we went
for tacos and adventure
okay fine so we're no saints but we're
not reckless either
and we were initially reluctant about
flying internationally
at least until we experience how well
managed it all felt
in april there was no way i was getting
on an airplane confined to a small space
breathing the same air as other people
who might have coveted
but seven months later we know a lot
more about this virus and the flying
experience has changed to allow for safe
and responsible traveling
airplanes have installed new filters to
replace the air inside the cabin
every two to three minutes and not
booking all of the seats to allow for
social distancing
arrival was simple with a coveted
questionnaire and these shoe sanitizing
mats
as soon as we heard the words
bienvenidos a casa it was
everything we needed to feel wholesome
when you exit the airport
you'll probably see tourists waiting be
picked up by hotel shuttles
and overpriced taxis we decided to save
some money by taking the public bus for
the 45 minute drive into cabo san lucas
they accept us dollars almost everywhere
in cabo but we prefer to use local
currency
don't exchange at the airport they have
the worst exchange rates
instead research your nearest casa de
cambio san jorge
after a long flight we are ready for
some tacos
the food was good but it wasn't even the
best food we ate
our favorite seafood in cabo is from
pescavo
we love oysters and baja california has
some of the best
[Music]
we were told that the el mejas
preparadas are popular around here so we
wanted to try
and they were a yummy surprise
[Music]
okay but the best thing we ate here was
this torre de
a mix of sushi grade seafood with an
amazing spicy soy sauce
we could eat this every day
after all that seafood we couldn't wait
to get back to our hotel room
for a nap for 25 dollars at night we got
this super
cozy studio with casamarka although not
luxurious it was everything we needed
most importantly our room was clean and
it was three blocks away from the cabo's
nightlife and one mile away from the
[Music]
beach
[Music]
at playa meleno you can catch a boat to
see the famous ark
for 15 each we cross el mar de cortes to
see it up close
[Music]
we got dropped off at playa del amor and
on the other side was playa del divorcio
where we were cautioned not to go
it's called divorce beach because it
divides the sea and the pacific ocean
and also probably because the waves are
a little aggressive
here is where we learned the hard way
why we shouldn't have been hanging out
here
kevin was getting ready to meditate but
the waves had other plans for him
can you guess what happens next
you would think we learned our lesson
with danger but what can i say
we're addicted to adventure so when
kevin dared me to take a shot of this
snake infused liquor
of course i said yes but more on this
later first we want to introduce you to
some friends we made
we came to cafes studa for some
breakfast near the beach breakfast is
great when the food is great but it's
even better when the staff makes you
feel right at home
after breakfast we headed over to sand
bar at playa melano
while kevin went searching for a bar
with the bears game i went upstairs for
a seaside massage
[Music]
not only did i find a bar with the bears
game this place atleta
also had some badass sushi
we told our server that jenny was having
some neck pain and he said he had the
perfect solution
this is called sotol the drink of the
apaches infused with a rattlesnake for
its medicinal properties
it is also said to be an aphrodisiac but
these days
what isn't so what do you think happens
here
a she throws up b she spits it out
c she thinks it's smooth
jenny takes it like a champ and says
it's actually pretty smooth
it's not a j k adventure without some
dancing luckily for us we stumbled
across la palapa a block away from our
hotel
this restaurant hosts salsa socials with
live music on fridays
[Music]
we were in our happy place and for a few
moments life felt kind of normal
it actually felt like we were at a
family party
and wherever you go in cabo the pandemic
precautions continued to impress
check out this restaurant los tres
gallos an open air romantic and
authentic
dining experience in cabo when we made
our reservations they politely explained
that all guests are required to have
their temperature taken
must sanitize their feet and wash their
hands at the entrance
this restaurant is a little more on
their pricey side compared to other
places we ate but it was so worth it
i ordered the clas margarita because the
glass was cute
but it also happened to be really good
and what made this place even better
live music
