Mexico Part 2

December 5, 2009 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Happy Saturday!!

Please don’t hate me for talking more about my fabulous vacation! Ready for some more Mexico?

The first full day we were there – I was up by 6am (I’m thinking it was partly because of the 1 hour time difference, partly because my silly face passed out at 8pm the night before)

I put on my bathing suit, and headed out, to find this waiting for me:

Pretty rough, huh?

I got down there early enough that I was able to snag us one of these little cabana thingies. I thought I was lucky – but after about 15 minutes I was covered in bug bites – so Mike and I switched over to lounge chairs by the pool.

I brought my book, and a “Coca-Cola Light’ along with me:

Book – my verdict is still out. I’m finding Elizabeth Gilbert severely annoying, and I feel like she is making up so stories – and yet I’m still reading. We shall see.

Coca-Cola Light:

= No good! It definitely does not taste the same as Diet Coke.

After hanging out for an hour or two – we decided we should get breakfast! First Mexican breakfast:

Delightful! I didn’t take pictures of all my meals on the trip – but I can tell you, every single plate of food I ate – involved potatoes and cheese. Talk about heaven!

To make things even better – the wait staff would just bring you alcoholic beverages, even though you didn’t order them. Example:

I mean – if you put a drink down in front of me – I am going to drink it!

By 10am – I was done with my “reading & relaxation” for the day – and ready for some fun. We decided to check out – the SWINGSET BAR! (okay – really – it wasn’t a swingSET it was just a bar with swings – but it’s a LOT more fun for me to call it the Swingset Bar – so just humor me! )

My feelings about the swings:

Mike’s feelings about the swings:

Both feelings in one picture:

To each their own!

My drink of choice – more tequila – except this time my “blanco” request got lost somewhere in translation – and I ended up with gold tequila:

And by gold tequila – I mean holy crap a GLASS FULL OF TEQUILA.

That glass up there? You see it? Yeah – I’m not kidding – that is ALL tequila. Tequila and ice, that’s it. Insane?! Yes. But… I drank it:

I can’t stress to you enough how easy I am to amuse, and how infinitely happy the swingset bar made me. I’m pretty sure I made Mike take about 35 pictures of me, and I’m pretty sure Mike yelled at me at least 50 times for my inappropriate swinging.

To top it off – the view wasn’t bad either!

After putting in a long day of making friends with too many people after having too many full glasses of tequila at swingset bar, Mike thought it was best if we took a quick afternoon nap, and then headed off to dinner. I didn’t put up a fight!

There was dinner involved – but no pictures. I did manage to take pictures of more booze though!

After dinner we went to their “Sports Bar” for some after dinner drinks:

Even though almost everyone would look at this sign and call the bar Desires – I decided to call it Desiree’s. Yeah. Whatever.

Again – shots were put down in front of us multiple times – even though we had not ordered any shots:

Some were even flaming!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – if you put it down in front of me, I’ll drink it!

So now that you definitely have to think Mike and I are alcoholics – I leave you with the bedside table before I passed out that night – because it really just makes me laugh.

Water, water, water, water, water, vodka.

I think I’ll just end it there.

2 more recaps to come! (if you don’t want to hear them – just tell me and I’ll stop!)

Looks like you guys had an amazing time, I’m so jealous!
I agree on the book. I spent most of my time reading it wanted to slap her.
