Ah our hotel stay at Hacienda Merida keeps getting better and better! Last night we toured around some more and found another bar down the way where we can watch the world cup final today. Go Espana!! We went for a lovely swim, the water here is actually cool and refreshing unlike at Laguna where it was warm bath water. We have a really nice dock here where we can jump off from pretty high. We made some really nice friends! Two couples, both around our age and all teachers too! One couple is from Portland Oregon and the other from England. Their accents are bloody fantastic! We share a balcony with the couple from England and shared some cocktails last night. Beers are only $1 here! We all had a delicious breakfast together and are watching the game together later.
A tropical storm came through so it will be rainy all day but we don't mind spending our morning laying in hammocks under our balcony reading and watching it rain! A tropical storm here is equivilant to a thunderstorm home, not a big deal. When the rain clears we have our choice of a variety of activities- many hiking options to volcanoes and waterfalls, kayaking to monkey island, biking, horseback riding, sailing...
We love it here!
We were unable to find a new card reader but we are sure we can borrow one from someone to upload more pics soon.
Love D&J
