I hate to say that I haven’t done ANY yoga on my break so far! Bad girl! I’ve just been having wayyyy too much fun!
Today I went to Playa Carmen with Donna, Jennifer, Mandy, Sarah, and two of Sarah’s friends from back home. We rented surf boards and Mandy gave me a quick lesson. After a few tumbles I finally got it! I actually stood up on the board my first time surfing! I’ve had a few people tell me that surfing is like an addiction but I never really understood it until I experienced it firsthand. Donna told me that surfing is not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle… and she is SO right. I am in love.
After surfing we walked to Santa Teresa and ate the best falafel plates I’d ever experienced. We stuffed our hard working surfer bellies til they were full! Once we got into Santa Teresa, Sarah made a game time decision to get a tattoo on her wrist. It was a really cute small one, I think we may need to pay that place another visit soon. J
After we got home and ate an amazing sushi dinner I couldn’t decide what to do with myself. I had showered and gotten a cute dress on with nothing to do. Keith and April had gone down to the beach for a bonfire with a few other people but no one seemed like they really wanted to go. About five minutes after I had given up on going out, Keith showed up on a 4-wheeler asking who needed a ride to the beach. Perfect! We cruised down to the beach and had a huge bonfire, cooked some fresh fish over it and drank a couple beers. It looked like it was going to rain a bit so we headed down to Chico’s. Hung out there for a few then went back onto the beach behind the bar. After attempting to make another fire which was a futile effort, we decided to just come back up to the resort. Hung out in the jungle room and drank a little wine with some leftover sushi and giggled up a storm.
I am so thankful for today and for all of the lessons I have learned and memories I will treasure forever.
