i'm on vacation.
hannah and i are staying in a condo near the ocean in a town that is roughly 70 kilometers south of cancun on the yucatan peninsula. y'all, this shit is perfect.
we arrived last night and took a cab from the airport in cancun to our place in playa del carmen. our cab driver was falling asleep at the wheel. seriously.
we were driving awfully slow... and before i realized what was happening, i thought, shit... am i going to be on an episode of kidnapped abroad? (i know, i know, i'm sorry. but, i can't lie to you. the thought did cross my mind...) you see, señor taxista woud slow down at the strangest moments (like cars broken down on the side of the road and dimly lit dirt road turn offs), in addition to when he stayed awake long enough to carefully navigate our nine-passenger van over the erratically placed rumble strips, muy bueno, el capitán!
i caught a glimpse of his eyes in the rear-view mirror and realized that he was actually taking six-and-a-half second microsleeps! just long enough to lose traction on the gas pedal. great news! we would not be kidnapped... merely whiplashed or minorly concussed if his naps became more frequent... eh.
i also have a new friend. his name is mario. we met at the infiniti pool. he and nineteen of his closest friends are here from mexico city on a bachelor party weekend and invited me to come with him tomorrow on a boat to celebrate mexican independence day! (i politely declined.)
we discovered we both love soccer and he thinks that most things about my life are awesome! i think that's awesome. he also told me that layla is his favorite name in the whole world. and that he's loved every girl he's ever met named layla... well, layla and candace, that is. i laughed very hard and very loud.
i think it's time for a dip in the plunge pool before we head out to find some comida. ¡hasta luego. te amo.
