the gremlins and the mayan gods are out to get me : )

Night life in Mexico is something completely different than nightlife in Raleigh.  Completely different.  Most bars are set up that you pay 'x' amount of money at the door, then inside it is open bar.  It is either super awesome, or bad-news-bears.  Let me assure you, that for me, it is always super awesome.  : )  Also, you don't go out until later.  And you don't come home until at the earliest 3.

Christy, Alex, and I headed to Nosferra with our language partners and some other random native kids.  And their professor.  That was kind of weird.  He was hanging out with this students and eating a lollipop in the club.

Waking up the next morning for our field trip was difficult, yet achievable.

We hiked through the Lol-tun caves.

We walked through the ruins at Labna.  Buterflies were EVERYWHERE.  I couldn't get a picture, but imagine yellow leaves falling on an autumn road.

We stayed at a bed and breakfast in Santa Elena. 

We saw a light show at Uxmal.  

And my favorite, we went swimming in two cenotes.

Last night was yet another trip to the discoteca (this time to el cielo), followed by another beach trip to Progresso (this time with Christy, Gabi, and Dona Pilar).

In other news. I lost my hairbrush somewhere.  I'm guessing either the gremlins or the mayan gods stole it from me.  I am turning into a deliciously dark bronze goddess.  My trip is halfway over.  Dona Patricia made me all my "favorite" foods for lunch the other day: mac 'n cheese and french fries (which she made me eat all of so that she wouldn't get fat).  And Gabi wants to start doing two-a-days to the gym so she can fit into her graduation dress.
