Heres some pics that I just took on our walk on the beach! I could get used to this..










This world here has confirmed every mexican cliche I've ever heard.
Yes, we eat tacos almost every day. Yea, we have tortillas with every meal. Yeah, I sit on the top of my roof and just chill. Yep, theres more orange peelings laying around this town than people. I've learned how to bargain. I've learned to check the forecast so that my hanging clothes dont get wet. I've learned that ketchup and lemons do indeed go with anything you want it to. Ive learned that when they say were having Orange Juice, we are seriously having Juice squeezed right out of an orange. I've realized that I cant eat any kind of sauce, even if they say its not spicy. It's still flaming! Yeah, I buy coconuts and pinacoladas when I'm thirsty. haha! If i just sit back and look, I realize how different it is. I'm getting used to it though and I dont know how I'm going to handle moving back to the states.


And yeah, we eat lots of beans and rice!


And seriously, dont drink the water in mexico!


The other day after church we went to eat at this restaurant that we usually go to, the one with chickens running around. I was outside pushing charlotte on a swing and a little boy came up to me and asked me if I'm from California. And thats not the first time. People here seem to associate all americans with Hollywood or something.




The sidewalks and streets here are also pretty crazy, it looks like they poored the concrete and then had a party on it! Its all so uneven and bumpy. I've tripped so many times lately!

Mackenzie,
Not sure if we actually know each other, per se, but I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know I'm praying for you! Your adventures sound amazing... How exciting everyday life becomes when you take a step outside your comfort zone! I'm wishing you all the safety & joy in the world! Dios le bendiga!
