Bbbbbbbrrrrrrr........

Ok. So since Muertos the weather has been COLD! not like, snowing or raining lots cold, but like....pants and goosebumps and windy and I'm wearing a sweatshirt with my hood on right now COLD!!!! I asked my host mom why and she said that the dead bring the "fresco" every year and that it's not going to be HOT anymore. WHAT? Why did no one tell me this? I brought one sweatshirt and one light jacket and NO long sleeved shirts and only ONE pair of long pants/jeans. I'm in Mexico for gosh sakes! I don't know what I'm going to do! The other problem with this realization is that I just checked the weather on my computer for Mexico and for Burlington (home). Burlington right now is at 44 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm sitting here, unable to get warm and guess what Oaxaca is at? 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Seriously. I'm going to DIE when I go back to Washington. Dear me. What has Mexico DONE to me? haha Next thing you know I'll be moving to Palm Desert or something.....just kidding (=

Also....for everyone's information, I will not be blogging for the next few days BECAUSE I'm GOING TO THE BEACH!!!! YAY!!!! This time we are going to Puerto Escondido and staying in a Hostel. There is an international surfing competition this weekend and it's our last 3 day weekend (our classes end next Wednesday and we leave for Chiapas that night). So thus, we must celebrate basking in the sun. Especially since it's cold here! I'm excited. And this time I won't be kind of like the hostess or have responsibilities to take care of my family's apartment, so I think I will be less stressed. The only thing I'm nervous about is that I'm trying to save as much money as possible, so we are taking camionetas (surburbans) instead of autobuses (giant buses with bathrooms). They are cheaper and much quicker but the drivers are CRAZY and I have like, 200 times more of a chance of getting carsick. I'll bring some bags....and OD on Dramamine lol. We are leaving tomorrow at 3 and can sleep off the van ride all night in the hostel and be roaring to go on Friday. Then I'll leave Escondido Saturday night so I only have to pay for 2 nights in the hostel. GRAND PLAN! I'm looking forward to lots of sun, relaxation, fun, and some surfing that's muy CHIDO!!!!

So hasta luego my loves. I miss you all. Take care.....stay warm!
