Viva Mexico!

 

We are back in Sayulita for spring break this year and despite our fear that the recent "discovery" of this little village by mainstream travellers might have spoiled it things are as fabulous as ever. The food is fatastic, the beach uncrowded, the Pacifico cold and plentiful and the people as friendly as ever. Of course this year, I have seen more woman sporting the notorious "armband" tatoo than ever before in my life. (Just a tip ladies, as stupid as the armband looks on men it really looks bad on women. If you want really want to feel like Pamela Anderson do yourself a favour and stick to the fake boobs and the sex tape.)

I think the best thing about this year is how much the boys are into it, especially the ocean. They have always had a great time but this year they are into the whole experience beyond just being on vacation in a neat place with a pool. The above photo was taken less than an hour after we had arrived and even though we had been up for about 14 hours and had not eaten in 4 the boys needed to hit the ocean before we could do anything else. Since then it is usually the boys urging us to get to the beach in the morning so they can hit the waves. The other day I sat on the shore and watched Connor float on his stomach for about and hour just letting waves crash him around. I think watching them enjoy it so much is even more important to me than what kind of experience I am having (which is awesome by the way). It is amazing how quickly we can slip into a routine of killing time between margaritas and meals and it has nothing to do with the fact that it was -40 at home earlier in the week, really it doesn't.
