Mexico Adventure

Hello Blog! It sure has been a looooonnnnnng while. But here I am, updating anyways! Back in June, Brandon and I took an amazing trip to Mexico! I absolutely loved it. We were a little worried because the first day was a complete downpour. I have never seen so much rain! The rooftops literally had sheets of water running off. But luckily, most of the days were filled with sun and fun! We really loved our resort. It had wild life walking all over the place! There were so many peacocks! At one point we got stuck in a random 10 minute downpour and I was hiding under a little hut with 5 peacocks, it was quite the sight I'm sure haha. The resort was so huge that we often had to take a cart to get to places. It had all different kinds of food. Our favorite (which we didn't find till towards the end unfortunately), was the crepes and ice cream. Such a cute little shop and the crepes were amazing. Another favorite (which sadly made me super sick the last 2 days of the trip.. womp womp) was the little street taco place. So yum! It also had an amazing gym which we actually used a couple times. And we ended up playing tennis a few times, which I found out is really tiring, and I have horrible hand-eye coordination. But actually I already knew that haha. We also went on an amazing excursion one of the days. Unfortunately I didn't get to take my camera! I took my GoPro though, and it has some awesome footage. I just haven't got to that yet! First we went to Tulum. It was so cool! I always love to look into history, it was a beautiful place. Next we went to paradise beach, and boy it really was paradise. I wish we were able to swim and play in the ocean for longer than we did. But man, we sure enjoyed the heck out of the turquoise water and white sand beach. Next we went on the real adventure.. we were able to ride four wheelers through the Mexican jungle. It was quite enjoyable getting all muddy and playing around (even though we were told not to ;)). They took us to the middle of the jungle and we enjoyed a real Mayan meal. Which was basically salted beans, rice, and, taquitos. It was still darn delicious because it was authentic. After the meal we were "blessed" and participated in a short mayan ceremony inside the hot teepee. The man blessed us to have babies, and little did he know, I was so dang grateful for that little blessing! We needed it :). After the ceremony we were taken to the jungle to zip line. We hiked and zip lined to about 5 different points. Brandon did not enjoy this like I did. He was too tall so his head kept hitting the top of the rope and really hurting him every time he stopped. Like a good wife, I just laughed at him. We did a baby repelling wall, too. The best part though, was swimming into the Cenotes. We had an incredible instructor who broke all the rules and took us deep into the caves and let us swim for way longer than we should have. It was seriously such an incredible experience. I could've spent hours exploring those dark water filled caves with our flash lights. It was kind of eery to think that there was so much unknown under and around us, but it was really exciting. Needless to say, our tour guide got a great tip, he was amazing. It was a loooong day that day, and we were pooped by the time we got back to the resort, but we are so glad we did it! The rest of our days consisted of lots of relaxing on the beach and swimming in the ocean. All in all it was such a fun last second trip! I am so glad I get to adventure Brandon. I look forward to the many adventures to come!

Someday I will upload photos and videos from the GoPro, but for now, I am playing catch up! I haven't blogged for 10 months or so and I hope to get back on track.
