Well Acapulco was fabulous. Its just great to know that we can take a weekend and really feel like were on a true vacation and a world away from work. It was such a relaxing weekend. Acapulcos beach is actually on a bay and to be honest the towns not that nice, definitely a victim of tourism and the nicest beaches are only where the most expensive big hotels are. So Im glad that we took that fifty-cent bus out of the city up the coast to the shoreline of Pie de la Cuesta. The beach is long but there`s only one street, its super quiet and not much to do but relax and enjoy being at the beach... which is what we want anyway, right? We loved staying in a little hotel right on the beach. There were huts with palm tree branch roofs that shaded us in our hammocks and beach chairs. We ate every meal with our feet in the sand. Sunday all 11 of us paid 4 bucks each for a 4 hour tour in a huge lagoon on the other side of the street. We had a great time and the traffic wasnt bad at all coming home. Wed definitely go there again.
Few things though, Ive never been in waves so strong. Im used to jumping the dinky Jersey waves so when I tried to jump an Acapulcan wave it picked me up and threw my face in the sand giving me a nice sand burn on my jaw bone and neck. i stuck to the pool the rest of the day. But for whatever reason that didnt do me any good either because the next day we were alarmed to find that the pool water had turned my blonde hair true green. After one day! People at school think I´ve turned punk. Theyve never heard of hair turning green I think because they dont have blonde hair. I hope it washes out soon.
Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I am asking my kids to bring in different items for our feast. Half of them are going to wear Indian headwear and half will wear Pilgrim hats. Its gunna be cute. They`ll color a little Thanksgiving book they can each take home and well talk about what we´re thankful for. After the kids leave we´ll have a potluck for the teachers but its gunna be super Mexicanified. Im on the social committee and saw the sign up lists and saw tons of Mole Verde and Tinga and Arroz and not so much mashed potatoes turkey and pumpkin pie. I really crave some pumpkin pie.
Okay well Happy Thanksgiving to you and safe travels!

I hope your munchkins enjoyed learning about Thanksgiving! How cool it must be for them to have you there and share your experiences; talk about lucky kids!
I was so ready for the break and really really enjoyed myself. It wasn't a beach in Mexico, but it was peace and quite. Although I could really use a tan, it works for me!
Miss you Britt! :)
