I went to Acapulco this last weekend and it was amazing and beautiful. Our hotel was right on the beach! It was great, but apparently if you are a 6 or 8 year old boy, you would rather swim in the pool than at the beach, so I only got to spend about 20 minutes out of the whole 2 days on the beach, super sad. I have never lived near the ocean and this was only my third trip to a beach but I must say that I feel so at home near the ocean. It is beautiful and peaceful and I love the perfect sound of waves hitting the sand. I have been thinking a lot lately about a lot of different things, and the thing about making a major scary decision like this is that it makes you feel that you can do anything, and I really do. I am making a plan for myself and my future and I am liking the looks of it. But anyways... major tangent... back to Acapulco. It was so humid there, the air was like water, and as evidence, I now have a killer cold, but it will go away soon I hope. I am having a good time here and I am so glad that I made this decision and had this opportunity. That is not to say that it is easy, because in fact, living in a country where you don't speak the language without your friends and family nearby is pretty hard. I really miss everyone, but still I would not miss this opportunity for the world. Well... maybe for the world :D One not so happy peice of news is that coco has been given away. I loved that dog so much even though I only knew her for 3 weeks or so... and I was so sad when she left, I cried more than was merited perhaps but what can I say, I am a crier. Otherwise, things are good and I am happy. Check out the pictures, it was beautiful there!
