arrrright!
somehow it feels like there was a time when i was blogging every time i got to a new city. that might have only been four or five cities, but i’m pretty sure it happened. this time i’ve been to i think six places that i didn’t write about. this is the monster post that will cover them all. i hope you’re wearing a helmet.
san cristobal was very cold. i went there with curtis and evelina. curtis shouts a lot and interrupts, which is annoying, and he interrupts with encyclopedic facts, which is boring. he’s awesome but i can’t tell you why. i’ll show you though. he lives in seattle.
evelina is swedish but she’s actually pretty nice. i asked her for some good things to tell swedish girls. she taught me how to say “you’re beautiful” and “you’re a damn whore”. she taught me “will you marry me” but i forgot.
we spent one night there and i took the overnight to cancun. they went south. i had a moderately crappy night’s sleep on my eighteen hour overnight. it’s ok though because conni got there that night. we went to isla mujeres the next day. the hostel was pretty good and you can rent a scooter to drive around the little island. they found mayan ruins right on a cliff overlooking the southern point of the island. it’s peaceful there and crawling with iguanas. the isla mujeres tourist bureau commissioned stainless steel sculptures in primary colors to make a sculpture park on the rest of the point. you have to pay $3 to go in, “for maintaining the sculptures”. i’ll put up pictures when i get a better connection. it’s pretty gruesome.
then we went to tulum. there were a lot of mosquitoes there. i found most of the puerto escondido crew there the second day. they told me how everyone was. they found curtis in palenque and lost him again when he fell in love with a married woman in the jungle.
conni and i took off for belize city the next morning. it’s four hours from tulum to the border town of chetumal. then you gotta cross to corozal. then it’s a four hour bus ride on a converted US school bus to belize city. there’s only like 50,000 people there. we stayed at a really good guest house and had late night chinese food.
now we’re on caye caulker. i start diving tomorrow. today was all boring videos. gotta go. internet’s really expensive here for some stupid reason. arrrright.
