Good morning Mexico! Today we laid and played on the beach for most of the day. We did the water volley ball passes and got to 101 passes!!!!!!!!!!! That was just Alex, my dad, and me.  My mom and I went into the ocean really deep and saw a lot of fish. We kept on swimming out where I couldn’t touch the bottom until I got water in my eye and had to swim back to shore. We had lunch on the beach and then went out to town. We looked around at things and almost bought an eagles poncho for my dad and brother- It was 400 pesos though. For dinner we went to a little place on the public beach in town that had seafood. I had a large shrimp cocktail, Alex has shrimp and garlic, my mom had a whole fish, and my dad had a chicken breast. After dinner I had to go to the bathroom and the only place to go was the public bathroom. It was just as bad as a port a potty. Ooooh. Then we went, got ice cream, and took a taxi home. Tonight we got to go night swimming! That was so much fun because it was me and Alex and a couple other men over at the swim up bar. We jumped in the water, and had races. It was a blast!

Beach Time!! The pool and the beach is pretty much all we did today. I collected white shiny shells in the ocean and I got pieces of a really cool shiny electric blue one. We ate lunch at a food court. Alex had burger king- what a surprise that my parents even let him have it. My parents and I shared an order of tacos and quesadillas.  We did homework too. What kind of vacation is a vacation with homework? Boo! Tonight for dinner we went to this tiny restaurant. Alex had spaghetti- I think he was tired of Mexican food today. My mom had mole chicken, my dad had grilled beef, and I had chicken tacos. Everything was very delicious! At the restaurant there was an adorable cat that looked like he was black and white, but had been washed and bleached, so it was a light grey and white. She was very sweet and it tickled when she would run in between my legs. I really want to go night swimming, but we always get home so late we can’t.
