This entry will be short, but I just wanted to gloat about the fact that I´m in Mexico. HAhahahahahahaha!!!
OK, got that out of my system. We arrived in Cancun yesterday afternoon, and the first thing I noticed was the smell. Asia had a smell too, here is more subtle but just as wonderful. Our couchsurfing hosts are terrific. David and I tended to host people once, maybe twice a month, but these guys have an almost steady stream of visitors. Someone left the day we arrived, and someone from Germany is coming in the day we leave. They are right in the heart of the city center, so we are in walking distance from lots of restaurants and stuff. Last night after we talked a while, they sent us to this little park that is surrounded by food stalls. We had no idea how to order or even what to order, but after watching a while we ended up with some tortas, which are sort of similar to a hamburger. We also had two big glasses of fruit juice, one was mango and the other was...red. Everything was delicious, and was only $4. So our budgeting prowess continues!! ;)
Today we took a ferry over to Isla Mujeres, and spent the day walking around and enjoying the beach. We went to a turtle sanctuary, we´ll have to see if the pictures turn out (sorry, but no pictures now, this visit was spontaneous and we don´t have the card reader with us) but we got some pics of a seahorse with all these little bits of weed floating around that on second look turned out to be TINY little babies.
Anyway, so we are safe and well, and having fun. It will take a while to get a little tan and break in our tender feet to all the walking we are going to be doing, but we are happy and excited to be here.
Question: Is it in or out for a boy to wear capri pants? We say out, but we saw someone wearing them today.
Also, typing on a spanish keyboard is really weird, they have all these extra letters (ñç¡¿) and all the symbols are rearranged. That is gonna take a while to get used to.
Tomorrow we will head to the hotel zone of Cancun and see what all the fuss is about. Then Cozumel on Sunday. We´re already considering rearranging our itinerary a bit, but that was expected. I´ll keep ya updated as we go! Pics next time.

Hey! Glad you made it Ok. It's sure quiet around here and Jackson misses you. I finally heard from Kyle which is a relief. Sounds wonderful there - wish I could have a bite- but I might have been more adventuresome than Mexican hamburgers!!! Love you loads and keep the blogs coming.
ReplyDeleteThe kids are asking about what part of the world you are in and I've shown them on the map... they are FASCINATED!! Dora the Explorah sux! Robb and David are the REAL DEAL! *grin* Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteDitto with the different keyboard. I have my laptop so it's not too big a deal but when we went to the library i noticed that everything is rearranged and some of the keys are smaller or bigger (like the shift key which was getting really annoying for typing capital letters!)
ReplyDeleteMom, they weren´t exactly hamburgers. (If I wanted that, there is always McDonalds.) They are more like pulled pork sandwiches, but with different kinds of meats (beef, pork, chicken, turkey) shredded in a wide variety of sauces, from white to brown to red to black. I´m having a hard time describing flavors, but so far I´ve loved everything I´ve had.
