Hola!

I'm baaaack! And finally starting to fade from a glaring shade of red (and possible sun poisoning) to a pale shade tan. Hey, I'll take what my Irish ass can get. (And don't worry, I'm okay!)

I was finally able to sleep on my left side last night.. so very not cool.

And so jealous of Gaby's tan.

I already miss Mexico SO much. All the Spanish I learned in high school was finally starting to resurface a bit.. I can definitely see how you could pretty much be fluent in Spanish after two or three months living down there. It was great listening to Gaby talk to everyone, and I started to catch on. And adopted a faux-accent when I tried to speak it myself. (May have gotten laughed at.)  And am now in love with Shakira and lots of other Spanish music. For reals.


I seriously should have been born Latina. I already have the badonkadonk.


Anyway, I'll be doing a weird version of recaps.. highlights, really. Because, in all honesty, I could just say: lay in sun, go in water, eat guacamole, shower, nap, light dinner, dance-drink-dance.. and you'd get the jist of the entire trip.

Gaby, Braden (her roomie), and I had every intention of going snorkling, to Xel-ha (shell-ha) or Xcaret , to Tulum, to Cozumel, etc. Then we stayed out in the sun a bit too long and at the clubs a bit too late and.. yea. Plus lots of that costs precious pesos which we simply did not have. Mexico on a budget, yo!

We definitely had some good times, though, and I have bucket loads of photos to show it. Until then.. a preview!

Guac and mojitos. Staples.

Le sigh.. the water was beyond gorgeous.

Oh hey, Dos Equis. Te quiero.

Stay tuned!!
