Cabo -- Day 4

The day after the wedding, you would have thought we'd just want to relax right?  Not quite.  Troy has always wanted to go deep-sea fishing, so at a bright and early time of 6am, he headed down to the marina in Cabo San Lucas with Dan, Bryan, and Derek.  Despite Troy getting a bit sea sick (sorry Derek!), they had a great time and each of them caught a few yellowfin tuna.  Most notable was Dan's catch of a 110lb. striped marlin which took 45 minutes to reel in.  45 minutes!  I can't believe something taking that long to reel in, but then again, it was 11o lbs.
    

Since they left for about half the day, I talked Rosie, Erin, and Val into going on the zipline tour with me.  It was CRAZY.  Not only do you ride ziplines over canyons (which was all I thought the tour included), you also had to walk a small rope across the canyon with only the help of another rope at chest height, rock climb or climb a ladder up part of the canyon, swing across the canyon on a tarzan swing, as well as walk across a bridge with ropes aiding you across.  What a rush!

Val -- the only one of us to take the harder route of rock climbing!

After all of us got back, it was time to cool off in the pool.  Most of us went to Himitsu for dinner (an awesome Asian restaurant!).  Since we didn't have our wedding cake yet, they were nice enough to serve it to us here...
    

After dinner, we stopped at another bar for a quick picture -- not only do they have a swim-up bar, but they also have bars without chairs -- instead they have swings!  Talk about original!  Then it was to the smaller pool where Ian decided to go for a quick dip, while Kelly and Val danced to the music of a nearby wedding!
