Mexico: Wednesday, Aug. 29

i know i said i wasn't going to bring my computer, but it's the only way i can charge my iPod, and that is my saving grace this week. and i've decided to document my short family vacation in my blog -- though i think i'll do it mainly through pics and captions :) so enjoy it daily, if you so desire.

flight
at first i was afraid, i was pertrified
i didn't take any photos while flying so let me tell you about the flight! flying has been a fear of mine since it encompasses a lot of my little quirks -- a bit of clostrophobia, a fear of falling, motion sickness and a lack of control (i'm a control freak). however, i truly believe in mind over matter and though i can't say i'm totally cured after yesterday, i do feel much more confident boarding a plane because i did have a nice flight by a window seat (and i looked down!) and i got to read -- which is extraordinary for someone with motion sickness. for anyone who does -- i would def suggest the meds i was perscribed. ask me about it later.

now for some stilframes from Wednesday




dad's breaking the rules.













awwww... it's a friend for peanut!








guys fixing the roof after the hurrican last week. the beach here is closed because of the storm too. *tear*




the rooms are small and lovely ... each one had wine, a fridge full of soda and beer, and a jacuzzi. not too shabby. not to mention the HAMMOCK they have outside. comfy.

























the place is a zoo! there are caged animals -- such as the flamingos and whatever it is caye is playing with, but running around we've found iguanas, snails and lizards!

































marissa got a seafood platter at dinner that included shrimp with's head (and you see her feigning to eat below) and squids' tenicles. i'm a sucker for squid (ha, get it, cause they have suckers like the ones below) so i ate them for her cause she was going to puke just looking at them. yummy!





















the show was supposed to be a fire show, but since it was raining, the show was moved to the lobby -- which has a thatched roof -- not very condusive to fire play. so instead we watched drumming and african, arabian and brazilian dance (where was the mexican?!)
