Still in Villahermosa!


I am still sweating here in Villahermosa. It has been hotter than sin! On Tuesday we ventured to El Parque La Venta where we saw lots of Olmec carvings and also animals in the zoo. Zoo´s have been a common theme throughout our travels. Yesterday we went to Yumka Park. We took a combi to get there (10 pesos each) and after about 30 minutes I thought to myself...uh oh, we are not going where we thought we were going! I looked at Lalo and he basically said the same thing to me...I was shocked! He usually doesn´t worry about stuff like that. We started laughing but within about 2 minutes we arrived at the park...it was pretty funny though. We were travelling on dirt roads with nothing but cows and chickens and a few scattered houses. The park was really cool. It is a nature reserve where the animals are allowed to roam freely throughout the park. We took a trolly through the reserve where we were able to see giraffes, zebras, and elefants about 10 feet away. I felt a little scared but no one else seemed the least bit bothered that there was a humongous elefant about 10 feet away.
I have been forgetting to eat before we leave for our adventures and when we arrive food is either unavailable or really expensive...I haven´t eaten anything until 5 pm the last 2 days. I was fricken starving and ate 1/2 a chicken in about 15 minutes...I felt sick afterward.
I´m a little sick of the food...I don´t even know what I miss either...its weird.
Today we are gonna leave for the beach...we don´t have tickets and we don´t know where we´re going but it all has worked out so far!
I´m learning how to live in close proximity with another person without annoying them and without them annoying the shit out of me....
We´re doing a pretty good job...occasional arguments mostly over stupid stuff...mostly over me not paying attention or doing something stupid...Hey I´m learning!
I met a girl on the bus to Villahermosa who told me I was really brave to do what I´m doing...until she said that I never felt brave.
Still learning and getting accustomed to everything here! I´m really enjoying my time!

Shout out to all my girlies at Cora´s Bachelorette party this weekend in Denver...I´m sad to miss it! I´ll be there in spirit and i´ll be thinking alot about you!
Adios...Besitos...Nos Vemos Pronto!
