I don't have a lot of time, but I want to write about last weekend. Molly and I were invited to go to the beach with some Mexican guys we had met. The trip was fantastic and completely different from Manzanillo (where we went the week before). In Manzanillo we stayed in a 4-star, all-inclusive hotel. At this beach, we stayed in a cabin-like building that had a palm-leaf roof but wasn't entirely enclosed. This enabled us to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean, which was like 20 feet from our front door. We were pretty much in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest town (maybe 200 people) a few kilometers away. All day long we sat around in hammacks, talking, playing cards (I learned some new Mexican games), played in the ocean, and watched a million crabs crawl around on the rocks. I sat underneath some lizards that were crawling around on our cabin. The boys said they were called "kissing geckos" because they made a loud smooching sound. I learned a ton of new Mexican slang during the weekend. OH, question for those Spanish-speakers who read this: We got some Doritos and the flavor was "queso atrevido." When I asked what atrevido meant, all I got was Flavio saying "Atrevido, como yo!" What the heck does it mean??? Yeah, so anyways, probably the most fun thing we did was swim in the warm ocean at night in the middle of a downpour. I had so much fun I didn't even mind the smelly brown tap water and 100% humidity. Oh, and losing one of my flip flops. The first night I got a little too close to the ocean and one of them just washed out to sea. So I went barefoot the whole weekend, which really wasn't a problem. There was a tiny outside restaurant at this place where we could get breakfast for $2.50 and dinner for $8. All they served for dinner was seafood, but it was good stuff. I took a gamble and ordered something random from the menu and ended up with a whole fish staring at me on my plate. It was so good, once I got past all the bones. Molly wasn't too fond of the menu selection since she's vegetarian, so she got by on tostada shells with lime and salsa. I think this place would be the perfect place to honeymoon cause it's so secluded and almost like camping, but in a very beautiful place. And it's cheap--I only paid $15 for two nights in the cabin.

I'm still working on getting my camera to function, but for now I'm going to steal some pictures from my roommate's website.

Doesn't this look like heaven?

There's lots more to tell but that's all I've got for now. Email me if you want to hear the unedited version of the weekend. Besos.
