Hola! Como estas?

Hello!  How are you?

Practicing.  Always practicing.

Fourth full day here and it's coincidentally awesome that we are celebrating the Fourth of July in Mexico!  There are certainly more than enough Americans here to form quite a parade - though it's not likely to happen.  It's pretty much a party atmosphere 24/7 - it's not like people on vacation need a reason to celebrate!

We are having a great time doing not too much of anything some days.  Yesterday we had planned to go to Xcaret - a jungle park - for the day.  Mother nature had other plans.  We were slammed with a HUGE storm - rain just pouring down in buckets and wind that made the rain come down sideways, seemingly.  So we hunkered down and spent the day indoors.  We did finally get out for a bit in sprinkling rain and headed into town where we ordered two small pizzas to go.  Watched them being prepared and enjoyed getting out of the rain for a bit - then back to our condo on the beach for quite possibly the most delicious pizza EVER and movies on the computer.  (The condo does not have a DVD player - something that irks us but oh well.  Thankful for a computer that works fine - and the computer screen is about the same size as the punky TV screen so it's OK either way).

I have made J. happy by sitting through The Godfather with him - and I really enjoyed it!  Yesterday, we watched Disc 1 of The Godfather 2 and I loved it even more.

Today, the weather is still sporadically awful and since tomorrow is a full day of sailing, we are keeping it low key today also.  We will undoubtedly head out eventually to procure something to eat - but we'll watch the other half of The Godfather 2.

I've re-read the first Harry Potter book and started on the second.

As far as we know, the boys are good.  We aren't spending a lot of time tracking them and we're not really forcing communications.  Trying to take a break from everything - not just work.

J. had a reminder on his phone.  I said 'what's that for'?  'To remind me I'm on vacation'.  Huh?  Dude - you aren't working.  Isn't everyday officially a vacation day?  He reminded me that calendars aren't just for remembering commitments - they can also be for remembering events.  Ahh.....glad he plans to remember.

Leftover pizza for brunch!  Yum!
