Dolphin Day! HOORAY!


Today I went on a boat ride to the island of Danzante with some of my parent's friends. My dad looked up weather reports, and they said that the wind would be calm. Well, it wasn't what you call "calm." It was really windy, but we still had fun. On the way to the island, we saw a pod of dolphins! I'm not exactly what kind they were, but they were absolutely adorable! I've loved dolphins ever since I was little. I always thought it was cool how they saved lives and stuff. Anyway, they were all around us trying to catch the waves of our little boat! Afterwards, we anchored our boat close to the island and ate lunch. The beach was really rocky, so we all decided to stay and hang on the boat. On the way back I took a short nap in the sun. I was home school free today! WOO HOO! And that ends our day on the boat.

Tonight I took a beautiful moonlit walk on the golf course with my mom, dad, and my small dog, Chloe. The moon was a very dimmed orange. Everybody always says that they see a man's face in the moon, but I never thought of it that way. I always saw a rabbit in the moon. Not that that matters.

I swam at the pool with my dad, hoping to get a nice tan. It wasn't hard, considering the sun is always shining. I'm running out of things to do here. Mmmmm.... paint, swim, read, walk. What else??

The food here is very good. We (mom, dad, and I) ate at a wonderful restaurant last night called "The Palapa." It was, of course, a palapa. I ordered the lobster, and it was absolutely amazing. The waiters were really nice and the atmosphere was beautiful. Later that night, we stopped at the carnival. The rides looked so dangerous and fast that we didn't get on one. You never know when one of the rides might break and you'll go flying out of it, hit another ride, have a concussion, and die. But hey, there's Mexico for ya.

In Mexico

I just arrived in Mexico about a week or two ago! It's very warm and breezy in Loreto right now.
My friend from Oregon came down to Mexico for Spring Break, she left just a week ago. My other friend is in Texas for three weeks and I have no one to hang out with..... poo. Traveling to Loreto was a huge hassle. We had to fly to Texas, then to Cabo San Lucas to spend the night at a beautiful hotel. The next day we forgot about the time change and realized we only had about an hour to get to the airport! So we hopped in a cab and the driver took us to the airport, only to realize that there were two airports in Cabo, and this was the wrong one. We got back in the cab and on the way to the other airport, the cab broke down. The driver made some phone calls and then another cab pulled up next to us and we switched. Then the new cab driver made a phone call to the airport asking if they could wait at least fifteen minutes for us. Finally, we got there and weighed all our luggage, and since one was overweight, we had to pay a lot of extra money. But we finally made it to Loreto!!
