muchos photos de mexico!!!

so, i know you have all been dying to see pictures from my trip! :) oh, and yes, i am still alive. you all don't have to worry! :) well, i got back yesterday, but i was too lazy to post pictures so here they are now! :) enjoy!






ooo! katie is stylin' in those! someone needs to tell her to get a smaller pair though.










okay, these water bottles were so cool! they gave them to us in the ginormous van we rode in to get from the aeropuerto to the hotel.











oh, and the best thing ever! everything was written in spanish!!!! sooooo awesome! you all know i had mucho fun with that! come on you know you would have too!















STOP!!! isn't that cool that their stop signs say "alto"





cute perro!















strange sign!











ummm...yeah i don't really know why that was on top of a building....i just thought it was funny













here is the beach where we went jet skiing! it was fun! my arms are really sore from steering the thing...i was going really fast! it was sweet! i hope i didn't scare you too much, august! :)




this guy with a guitar started serenading katie. he sang "pretty woman" ...yeah not exactly umm...native :)



this was all in downtown cabo.








oh, this t-shirt with the mcdonalds logo on it....strange i know, but i just had to take a picture of it. so, this was where there was a bunch of shops, kinda like an outdoor market. the people there love to barter with you and make deals with you, but if you really don't want anything it's soooo hard to just tell them "no". you can tell there is just something about them that is really nice and friendly so you feel kinda bad. there was this one guy who was trying to sell me a petrified puffer fish with a light bulb in it....weird! then he starts showing me his swords that he makes and he hand me one and is like "i make all these. you should bring one back for your boyfriend" i'm thinking "ummm...i don't have one and even if i did what would he do with a sword!?!?!" another guy started talking to me and august, while my family was looking at some necklaces, about coming to a party at the restaurant he works at. he goes "oh, are you ladies coming to the party here at 11:00" "ummmm...no" "oh, you need to escape from your parents and i'll give you free tequila shots" ahhhhh!!!!! i'm thinking "run away!!! escape!!!! he was just plain creepy! made for a good cultural experience though. :)






red happy star makes me happy!!!















bandito frog!!! awesome huh? :)





we had to check out of our room at noon, but our flight wasn't until 3:00 so we had time to kill. we stayed at the resort's pool and the guy told us we could go and take showers in the spa. august and i decided to go early. this is what the spa shower looked like. it was crazy it was outside, but covered so it wasn't. it's hard to explain. it had a vine in it, which was odd and the leaves kept falling on my head. seriously the most interesting shower i've ever taken!





here is the view from right outside our condo thing. it was beautiful!

here is gary drowning me in the pool! why does everyone enjoy trying to kill me? :)

this was the swim up bar in the pool. it was pretty cool! they had bar stools in the water! sweet stuff!

katie also thoroughly enjoyed the pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris...virgin of course!

yep yep! that's all for now! fun trip. it was definitely an experience. it was also really neat to see a different culture since i've actually never been out of the country; off the continent, but not out of the country! well, now i have! :)

adios mi amigos! :)
