Let me bring you up-to-date!

Going on almost 2 weeks that we have now been in Cancun. I have been partying my ass off (which is not really my style) but it has been loads of fun! But...I'm ready to get the F out of here!

After leaving Merida we made a quick stop in Valladolid and saw the ruins in Chichen Itza. They were fabulous! We hitched on to a couple who had hired a guide and we got the whole tour for free! Free things have definately been a theme on this trip (it never hurts to ask right?)!

When we arrived in Valladolid we both agreed that we were feeling a little exhausted and worn out from 2 months of travelling. I suggested we take a small break in Cancun and stay at a nice place. We found an AWESOME deal online for an all-inclusive. Since it's low-season here you can find some pretty great deals...about $60 per day for both of us!!!

Our first day here we met an awesome couple (Brittney and Miguel). They were just our style as Brittney is from Ohio and Miguel is from Ecuador. I think the boys had a little bromance going on ;) They are lots of fun!

We pretty much spent the remainder of the time with them and when Miguel had to leave early to see his dying aunt we relunctantly ;) agreed to stay with Brittney in her parents condo (free of charge).

We have been clubbing at XX, Daddy Rock, Coco Bongo, and The City. I'm clubbed out! I have drank more alcohol in the last 10 days than probably the last 6 months combined. Haha...hangover city! Too much fun!

We planned to leave Cancun Tuesday morning the 15th however, Brittney decided to change her flight and stay an extra few days...needless to say...we're still here!

We just couldn't leave without celebrating Mexico's independence day here!

It was pretty cool to be in the middle of a crowd full of Mexican pride screaming VIVA MEXICO!!!!!! I got the chills to be part of something like that! It was cool!

Cancun is super expensive, touristy and doesn't feel like Mexico. I'm hoping to won't be too hard to start up travelling again as I've gotten pretty used to some of the amenities (although the air-conditioning in the condo is broken and I've woken up several nights literally thinking that I was dying)

I'm getting super excited to travel back to the states for Cora's wedding and can't wait to see the rents!

It's funny how much I thought I missed all the luxuries of the states but now that I am here in Cancun/America I miss rural Mexico. I miss all the small, delicious and cheap restaurants; cheap taxi and bus fares; wonderful authentic clothes and shoes; and friendly people not trying to take advantage of you!

I absolutely have fallen in love with Mexico and could see myself here for awhile (sorry fam)! It's a truly amazing place!

Adios...Besitos...Nos Vemos pronto!
