A Normal Day

A normal day in Mexico is pretty simple. You sleep until around 10:30 or 11:00. Then you stumble out of bed and put on your bathing suite, then it's down to the pool for a couple hours. When you're at the pool you can either swim, or just lay there, listen to music, and get tan! Usually I lay by the pool until i get really hot, then jump in the pool, it is so refreshing! After a couple hours by the pool, it's time for the beach. Just walk across the street and you're there! On the beach you can watch all the really good surfers, take a nap and get tan, play volleyball, or play catch. Around 4:30 or 5:00 is when i go riding on the beach. I usually only ride for about 1/2 hour. I ride with my Mexican buddy, Salvador. We have races down the beach and it's a lot of fun becuase the horses go so fast! When I'm done riding i just stay on the beach and wait for sunset. Sunset is at 6:00 everyday, and it is B-E-A-U-tiful! When the sun sets, it's time for dinner. There are A TON of really good restaurants down here, and they are all really close.. and cheap! A dinner for 4 people, plus drinks, is only about $20-$25. After dinner, its back to the hotel, then you pretty much do whatever floats your boat.. you can swim, lay in the hammocks, watch a movie, go to the store, walk to the bar.. And that is pretty much a normal day in Mexico.
Oh and by the way, i sometimes do my school work in the morning before i go to the pool.

Airplane

To get to Mexico I had to take 2 airplanes and a bus. The first airplane was from Seattle to L.A. The flight went by really fast because it was only 3 hours long. Plus I slept most the way because I had to get up at 4:30 that morning, so i was really tired. When I arrived in L.A. I had to wait about an hour til my next flight to Zewatinaho, Mexico came. That plane ride went pretty fast too. By the time we arrived in Zewatinaho it was already 4:00 PM. We had to catch a taxi from the airport to the bus station. I really didn't want to take the bus because I would have to be on it for 14 hours! The bus didn't come til 7:00 PM, so I had to sit and wait for 3 hours. It seemed like forever, but finally the bus came. I hated that bus ride so much, it took SO long! Finally, 14 hours later, we arrived in Puerto Escondido, which is where I am going to be staying for the next 5 weeks. I arrived there at 8:00 AM. When I finally got to the hotel I went to sleep.
