la dia ultima

7 enero 2009

Today was our last full day in Mexico and what a day. Filled with raindrops, volleyball, swedes, and losing one of our own...

It's usually best to start at the beginning. The day began early seeing as a wily pilot had it in his mind to take off early... like 6 in the AM. This awoke dear sweet james or Tubba as we now call him... read last blog. Tubba wanted to take a better look and opened the door. So the noise was unbearable. I think my ears are still bleeding a little... ok maybe not... Then after the plane took off the mexican marines decided to run around and do the hup 2 three four only in spanish so it was probably something like hup dos tres cuatro... This woke me up.

When I got up I was all excited to eat my cakery items. I was to have an apple croissant. I did only there was no filling. remember the burger king commercial where's the beef? I was like where's the apples...

Jenna, mom and dad went to the south end of the island and Jim and I went to the navy store. we bought kinder eggs for jenna. We almost bought a bag of candy thinking it was 65 pesos like 5 bucks... then i saw that it was 165... like super expensive... so we didnt get it. Fiscally responsible. What do you think about that?

Then we walked back. Dad, Jim and I went to town to try and find a firestation. Dad and I went to information and dad tried to ask where the fire station was. Something didnt translate so the guy thought we were asking where a t-shirt store was... like all over the island... anyways... we went to the grocery store and got viddels. then Jim was to circle around the main drag while dad and I went in search of coke.

we first asked for where the fire station is. I asked in spanish and the woman understood me... so proud... though I didnt understand her when she was explaining where it was... half a point to me.

We got diet coke and went in search of Jim. He had been circling for 4 times at least. he was very happy about this because he likes waiting for us.

We returned to the condo and ate lunch.

Then we went to the beach. A German guy asked to borrow our volleyball. I was trying to win the tanning contest at all costs barring the killing or abandonment of Jim so I wasn't playing. Then more people joined. They were Swedes so I had to join. It was pretty fun and I played amazingly. I must have been channeling Misty-May. The teams were unfair though. It was 5 of us mighty viking warriors against a german and 5 mexicans. I almost feel a little sorry for them.

Then all of a sudden Mexico remembered that we are leaving tomorrow and started to cry. At first it rained and then it downpoured. I didnt think it could rain that hard. there were sheets of water coming down. We hopped in the gold cart and got the heck out of north beach.

we waited for the storm to past and went back into town.

I bought some souvenirs. The guy said to me it would be 240 pesos for one of the souvenirs. I got 2 for 200. Nice:)

We ate tacos for dinner and lost dad in the process. Jim and I went to the grocery store to get pop to be more economico. Jenna and mom waited in the restaurant. They didnt know dad was waiting for them and left without them. They met up with us on the beach and asked where is your father? We found him eventually.

Then it was time for more souvenirs.

Followed by margaritas. They were pretty good. i took a hit for the fam and had 2. This got my dear sweet father singing. he wanted to find a karaoke bar but then decided he didnt need one. he sang the theme song for the Beverly Hillbillies on our way back. I saw the cops lights and yelled to my dad "sober face dad it's the po-po" I never for the life of me would have thought I would ever say those words.

update it seems the tannig competition is now over. Jim claims victory but I am going to pull a Franken and ask for a recount because then I will surely win.

Jenna says I sparkle in the sunshine. I guess she can see my halo:)

Jim stop it. Don't throw a fit. naughty don't throw things. Calm down. Ok maybe you are a little tanner than me but I am sparklier:) Dont hang on the fan. I will take away your mustang. yea that got your attention didnt it? Tubbo no crying... oh i have to go get him a hankie. I wasnt serious Jim. I wouildnt really take away your mustang.

Tomorrow at 7:00 in the AM we must be outa this place. It has been fun and real. The weather was marvelous the entire time.

Maybe we will come back next year?


oh yea still reading? nice. Jenna decided she would be hilar and put on a fake tattoo on her back to see if dad would notice. He did and was none too happy.
Hasta luego-
