Muy rapido!
Here's a recap from last night:
We all met in town and listened to a concert that they were having at the Plaza de Montejo (it seems like they have free parties for the city residents constantly!). Then, some of us went to a bar/restaurant while the rest of us went to a karaoke place called "Up All Time" (we're pretty sure they forgot the "The" when they were trying to make it an Americanized karaoke place). We all had alot of fun, and four of us got up and sang "Stop" by the Spice Girls! After karaoke, we all met up in town and danced in the street with a bunch of natives to salsa/merengue music. It was so much fun!!!
Today, most of us met up and went to the beach at Progresso. It was so much fun having all of us there just tanning/swimming and being on the beach in Mexico!!! A few of us went out on banana boats twice, too. I flew off the boat both times, of course, and had to be pulled back on, but it was still so much fun. Especially the first time, we kept yelling "muy rapido!" and putting our thumbs up, so they kept going faster and faster and making us swirve like crazy. The second time around, they remembered us and just started off at the same pace as we had ended the first time, and from then, they got faster! It was seriously a ton of fun, but now I'm exhausted and can't wait to go to sleep. AND I didn't get sunburned, thank God, so my lathering techniques for sunscreen really seemed to help! :-D
Other than the above, not much is new. I've just been really enjoying myself here and getting to know everyone on the trip. It seems like we're going to continue to have a really good time!
Ohh and I updated my Photobucket, so feel free to check out my new pictures!
Love you all! Miss you!!!
