We stayed at the Hotel Armida in Guaymas. We chose this location due to the limited options &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have the necessary 5 days before arrival to book a condo at Condominiums Pilar. Guyamas isn&#8217;t too far from San Carlos and is nice in itself, but it was disappointing not to stay on the beach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc5.jpg\" title=\"sc5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc5.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"sc5.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We went on a beautiful sunset cruise on Tuesday evening which I booked through Gary&#8217;s Dive Shop. Gary is a really nice guy and we enjoy using his shop. The cruise was excellent and the free margaritas were a plus! The scenery was incredible and the price was only $25\/person for a couple hours. We saw a lot of jellyfish, sea lions, and thousands of pelicans.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc7.jpg\" title=\"sc7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc7.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"sc7.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday we toured San Carlos and then ended up spending most of the day on the beach. I collected about about 50 pounds of really nice looking rocks which will be turned into a sweet home decoration. Yunuen made fun of me, but as usual, she will love the decoration it turns in to. The water was a bit cold, so we look forward to going back in a few months when the water temp will be in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc2.jpg\" title=\"sc2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"sc2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We ate at La Cobacha restaurant in Guaymas today before departing. We have been here before with Matt, Dana, Aaron, Christina, and Liam on a previous visit and like it quite a lot for their seafood. I ordered red snapper and a couple marlin tacos which was all very good. Dee ordered shrimp wrapped in bacon. Yun and her mom both ordered shrimp cocktail and Earl and Yun&#8217;s father ordered red snapper as wel (all 3 of us had it prepared different ways).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc4.jpg\" title=\"sc4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sc4.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"sc4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the trip was the acquisition of 9 new Te Amo cigars (all different sizes and styles).
