Mexico

I am typing this post from bed, laying down (still) for as long as I can in hopes maddie will sleep in. She's been waking up early every morning since we have arrived. After she crawled in to bed with me this morning I figured and try not to fidget as I normally do and take one for the team and stay put.

Mexico has been perfect. The weather is gorgeous and in the 80s. It's been really mellow down here. I don't feel like I am constantly being harassed to buy things and the employees at the condo we are staying at speak English perfectly and are really helpful. Our only drama so far is sam's birthday stingray sting. Fortunately it happened to Sonja about ten years ago in La Paz and some locals helped her out by bringing a boiling mixture
Of water and vinegar for her foot. It pulls the venom out apparently. Within five minutes sam stopped writhing in pain.

Sonja and I have been going on runs on the beach. It's beautiful (and exhausting). It's so fun to have this one constant thing you do and do it all over the world. It's a neat way to see a city. The Parisians looked at us like we were absolutely nuts when we were over there in September. We fit in much better here. :-)

The girls have been great. Maddie loves to go down to the beach and try to outrun the waves. She laughs the entire time. Allie wants nothing to do with getting anywhere near the ocean. We have spent a lot of time poolside as well but frankly I think I'm getting old
Because it feels cold! Allie fell in on the first day and immediately started trying to right herself. It's nice to see those swimming lessons paying off.

Tomorrow we may go zip-lining. We shall see. For now here's a few phone pics. Ilhopefully they attached! I can't make my phone scroll back up to edit this either. Oh well :-) and M is finally awake.
