February in Portland can be a little dreary, so it is a good time to escape to somewhere warm and sunny. We decided to go to San Jose del Cabo in Mexico, where there just happened to be a half-marathon for Tracey to run. Before the race, we took a side trip to Todos Los Santos, a smaller town about 60 miles north. The little town was perfect, not too crowded but with a few cute boutique hotels and a handful of restaurants and cafes. One day we had the entire beach all to ourselves, except for a few whales we saw offshore. After a couple of days in Todos Los Santos, we drove back to San Jose Del Cabo and spent a day exploring the arts district, before getting up early the next morning for the race.
