Mexico has swollowed me up and I run on mexican time which means I have no idea what the date, day or time is- ever! That is my excuse for not having written is so long! Now it feels like there is too much to write down but I have had some of the most amazing adventures and I want to share them all.

I left off in a small jungle settlement outside of Pelenque. Our room there was a few plywood boards tacked together covered in screens, diveded into four rooms. We were the only girls surround by bg groups of Australian and French Canadians- you can imagine we all got to playing practical jokes on eachother as we could hear everything in everyone's room- the best part was that we practically never saw eathother's faces!

We took a day trip to Aqua Azul *look it up on line* it was absolutley breathtaking. Miles of limestone pools, clear water, stunning. Then a we spent a day inside the ruins of Pelanque. That was really something, we wandered through abandoned palaces, death chambers halls etc. and we allowed amazing access. Vita and I took an afternoon break and sat a top one of the hightest ruins and just sketched out the beauty below. Exploring the city and walking through the halls I could really imagine the way of life there those thousands of years ago.

Then we took a 14 hour bus ride to the coast and passed through Cancun to get to the small island, Isla Mujeres. For five days we really just chilled out and relaxed. I didn't even take my camera anywhere, just imagine the typical white sandy beaches... We made tons of friends staying at our hostel including travalers on the same type of trip as us and the typical travlaers who have been doing this type of thing for 5 years. We also had a great day with some boat captains from South Carolina. Shout out to Bobbie, Ford, Eddie, and Ron! They are awesome and fixed us fresh sashime that they caught that day! I hope you guys arn't disapointed by the blog... its kinds of boreing but you might just become famouse now...

You can imagine the life of lounging in hammoks all day, and partying all night gets a little exausing so we headed just a little south to Puerto Morelos to meet Vita's sister.

Here we stayed with Vita's family friend, Oma, and her friend Megan for three or four days. These women are absolutely hilarious. Free spirits and tons of fun we've been to beaches, centones and around town laughing the whole time trying to keep our eyes on the keys that are perpetually getting lost. Vita's mom met up with us yesterday and now we are in a nice hotel by the beach *thank you mom!*

That is about it. I'm flying to meet my dad in Mexico city and we are going to San Miguel de Allende on the 25th. My spanish is getting better, my writing is chugging a long, time means nothing to me and all is well. Until next time...
