Beach-y

We are here and getting into an easy pattern....

J. and I get up between 7 and 8. Have coffee. Read....check the internet. Tidy up the place. Head down to the beach where we rent these incredible 'beach beds'. They're supposed to be $9 US each day but we've made friends with Jose who only charges us 50 pesos per day - so we get three beds for the day for around $10 US. We hang out under the shady umbrella, getting up and heading into the ocean when we need to cool off. We buy the occasional soda ....well, OK - I'll confess. I had a beer before 10AM this morning. It was good. J. had a virgin Bloody Mary. THEN we ordered sodas. And then a pina colada and a margarita - the margarita was for B. who thinks ordering drinks on the beach as an 'adult' is pretty cool. So are the topless girls sunning within 5 feet of us.

The boys awaken whenever - yesterday, they slept until 1PM but in their defense, they did not sleep much on Friday night at all, nor on the plane en route. So they were truly 'over-tired'. Today, they were up and down at the beach by noonish - B. wanted to go shopping. H. and I hung at the beach together - time with him alone is fun. He's a nice young man when he's not under the influence of his sibling, his friends or parents who are feeling the need to quiz him about his comings and goings constantly.

I finished Book 3 of the Twilight Series on the plane and am now very close to finishing Book 4 and it is FANTASTIC. I don't want it to ever end, but we found Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on the bookshelf here and I'd like to read it more closely to recall/compare the book to the movie.

We're having a great time. It is 90% humidity most of the time, with the temp in the high 90's as well - but we seem to be adapting. The first day we were pretty miserable but now we're all managing fine. I think staying wet when possible is a big help.

Tonight, we'll meander into 'town' (2 blocks from the condo) and find a place to eat.

And just to make this truly a 'perfect' vacation, this little town has not one, but TWO Starbucks. Yes, it's possible this is heaven.

We have no firm plans, no need for any and after 5+ hours in the sun today, I'm ready for a long nap....

Hasta pronto.

PS - since I'm in Mexico, spell check isn't working. Google, Blogger, etc. are all in Spanish - and apparently it doesn't know what language I'm typing so it won't spell check. So apologies in advance for mis-spellings. Blame it on the heat - not on the pina colada.
