Today has been pretty much a wash of a day…Jay and I slept in pretty late, took care of emptying out our suitcases, started some laundry, and well…that’s about it.

The Wildlife…there’s what our tour guide calls the “Mexican Lobsters” roaming around all over the place. Then there’s these little buggers, which Jay tells me are called coatis. I had never heard of ‘em, but they are definitely interesting, aren’t they? Our Room…I want to transport this bed back home with me. And this bathroom. [...]

After a long, sun-filled afternoon spent on the beach, we all decided there was only one way to come back and recuperate… With some frozen drinks, of course! My parents may have forgotten the cups, but the hotel had us covered. And they also made sure not to forget the fancy umbrellas! Now I know [...]

Would you believe that I woke up this morning craving another savory breakfast? Seriously, what is UP with me? Hey, whatever the reason, I’m just gonna roll with it, because this is two savory breakfasts in a row that were totally fantastic. I whipped up an egg white omelet and filled it with some more [...]
