Mexi-Fam
Me and my Family :) Sorry i couldn´t write tuesday. My roomate and i skipped salsa class that day, and decided to go home to watch the Netherlands vs. Uruguay game and take a nap 😊 SPAIN AND HOLLAND IN THE FINAL I´M SO EXCITED!!! I´m happy for whoever wins. Neither team has ever won a world cup before, so yay for both of them.
But anyways, Acapulco was great. I was treated like a princess. I´m not sure if i can stay in anything lower than a 5 star hotel again for the rest of my life.... i was that spoiled. JuSt KiDdiNg!!! The city is clearly a tourist town though, everyone speaks broken english, and there was a Hagan Daas right next to the hotel which was HEAVEN for me because I have not had ice cream since i left the US and all i´ve wanted is some coldstone!!! Anyway, friday was the worst of the worst! (drinking wise). I just HAD to bring a deck of cards, and everyone in our group just HAD to contribute at least one bottle of alcohol, and we just HAD to jump the fence to the private beach at like midnight, it was so much fun. I´m not sure if it was a good idea to go swimming in the pacific ocean drunk (i´m not sure if its just mexico or the pacific ocean in general but the waves were SO strong) BUT it was fun nevertheless.
We all surprisingly woke up before 9am the next morning. No one was sick, and everyone was ready to hit the beach up again! it was so cool!!! We rode the banana boat. Its basically a flotation device that seats 8 people, and its tied to a boat (just like for jetskiers i guess) So 8 of us at a time got a tour of the coast on this shady looking BRIGHT yellow piece of equipment HAHA it was so much fun. Later that night, we went to see a clif diving show. like 10 guys basically climb halfway up a mountain at different heights and dive into this scarey looking SHALLOW cove every hour on the hour for money, so my teacher took us to see it lol. Afterwards, we went to el barco BANANZA!!! the party boat!!! Its a club on a boat, and it sails along the coast of acapulco from 1030pm - 2am. Your ticket on the boat pays for your drinks, but of course they only had like 5 drinks to choose from, and you had to have them mixed - so you couldn´t ask for a shot of something. But there were 3 levels that played different types of music. the first floor was more salsa/ old school mexican dancing for the adults 😊, the second floor was more recent music like reggaeton, and the top of the boat was stereotypical american music and "electric slide" type music of mexico - like cheezy stuff all mexicans know how to dance to HAHA it was so funny watching my drunk friends trying to jump in. but yeah they played michael jackson, david bowie, the CHEEZIEST american songs ever!!! even that YMCA song. LOL we got one of the white boys in our group to dance to Slave For You by brittney spears because he said "i´ll only dance if a bunch of girls surround me while i do it" HAHA so 8 chicks made a circle around him and we danced to brittney freaking spears in mexico, it was TOO funny. (Mom - he reminds me so much of Josh, AcTuaLLy..... 😊 i went back to the hotel and slept, but some of my group drank some more afterwards. Just couldn´t do it!
The next morning we were all up early again. Checkout was at one, so some of us went shopping for souvenirs, others hung out on the beach. The bus ride was 4 hours, but we watched the blind side and shutter island in spanish so time went by faster 😊. After i got off of the bus is when i started feeling sick 😞 Yes, i got sick, and so did 4 other people in my group, its so weird. I was lucky to be better in one day, so nothing too serious. One of my friends passed out while at school monday, and they had to take her to the hospital. The other two were just like me, vomiting. Nothing major. As i told my mom, I should have a degree in the art of puking HAHA i handle it like a champ.
Tomorrow means I have 1 week left in Mexico, and i´m sad..... but i´m looking forward to going home and giving you all of your gifts!!! I´m seeing Karate kid and going to a gay club tomorrow night with a bunch of people. Saturday i´m hanging out with my mamá 😊 its a free weekend, so there are excursions planned, but they´re optional, so i wanted to spend the day with mamá to say thank you for taking care of me these 4 weeks. Shes taking me to a baby shower with my sister Andrea (her real daughter) and i´m excited!!! Sunday, I´m not sure yet. I want to go to Mexico for a couple of hours because thats my last opportunity to see more of the city before I get on the plane 😞
I still need to go to McDonalds before I leave lol i told my dad i would so i can see the differences and take a picture for him 😊
I´ll update tuesday, LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
