After a grueling first week of school I was really looking forward to the weekend. I had decided to take advantage of the fact that my brother was going to the coast for buisness and tag along to go spend the weekend in Lazaro Cardenas, a beach town about three hours away. Katie decided to join me and so did one of Edgars friends. The four of us left on Friday night, arriving in Lazaro at 10ish. On the drive over I got a good look at the country that I am in. Morelia is surrounded by mountains, shrouded in fog and blue from a distance. After passing the mountains we drove through the aread of Uruapan (famous for its exportation of avocados and marijuana) it was so muggy and hot during the drive we stopped many times to buy bottles of water. When we arreived in Lazaro we rented two rooms in a hotel, grabbed some tacos and headed to the discotec. I don´t know what I was expecting but discos here are very different from clubs at home. People have a lot more respect for personal space on the dance floor, and by this I mean there if
very little raunchy dancing. It was fun to just dance with Katie (since the boys claimed that the music was so bad they didn´t want to dance). To their credit, some of the notable songs of the night included Mambo #5, Vengaboys, La Bamba and the Tequila song. It was very funny. The next day after a breakfast of fruit, yogurt and honey Edgar dropped us off at the beach. Playa Azul is lined with restaurants where you can sit a table and just for ordering food or drinks enjoy relaxing in hammocks in the sand. It was awesome. Kate and I went swimming in the ocean, its much warmer and saltier than home. We walked down the beach collecting sanddollars and then slept in the sun in our hammocks, while enjoying the live music of traveling four man bands. I was so happy to have a relaxing day like that. Unfortunetly, I think that because of the climate changes, from hot hot hot outside to cool airconditioning inside I caught a cold. I am very sniffly and sneezy and feel tired and fluish. Luckily, mom packed my first aid kit full of wellness and vit-C and I am drinking
Comida de la Playa
Incluyendo mi agua de cocoalots of water. So today I slept in until 11 and am planning on doing some homework, watching the U.S v. Mexico final in the Copa de Oro (soccer) and going to sleep so I can feel better for school tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures from playa Azul. Much love to all. -C
