Day 2 Cancun:
Today we slept in, ate a huge breakfast, spent some time at the beach, walked 5 km to our dinner boat, and spent 3 hrs on Captain Hook's boat. A very good day overall. Lashel you would have loved breakfast..... all fresh fruit.
Subtitle I love America:
After being in Mexico for only one day I must say that I LOVE AMERICA! You know your not in America when you take a bus that is packed full of people and some of them are hanging out windows and door. You know your not in America when the speed limit says 70 km/hr but must just be a suggestion because the drivers barrel down the road at mock ten. You know your not in America when you have keep your eyes closed to keep yourself from shouting "JESUS" every time the driver turns a corner and nearly wipes out signs, pedestrians and other cars. You know your not in America when the bus driver just runs through red lights. And you know your not in American when the driver takes off before you have a chance to reach for the rail and take a seat, that is if you are lucky enough to get a seat. AND EVERYONE ACTS LIKE THIS IS SO NORMAL? Let just say that I am definitely more thankful that I have a country called America to call my home.
Sidenote: Everything here is EXPENSIVE. 27 pesos for a candy bar... that's $2.50! Ridiculous. Yesterday we paid 270 pesos for a meal of 3 tiny chicken strips, 4 small tortillos, and a scoop tortillo chip with a spoonful of beans, one can soda and a bottle water. That was $25!
Tomorrow we are headed to the Chichen Itza Ruins (or something like that). Adios until tomorrow.
(we have more pictures on our camera but unfortunately can't upload anything other than i-phone pictures :( )
