So much to say, so little time

Huatulco Mexico is incredible. The people are more then just nice and the beaches are beautiful. It has been the perfect place for Lauren and I to relax and get over our jetlag. We have spent the majority of our four days here playing on the beaches and reading. It is exactly how we wanted to start our adventures.

We are leaving Huatulco tomorrow and headed to Playa Mazunte. Which is not far away. This is where we will begin our work as WWOOFers (willing workers for organic farming). We will be working at Hostel Einstein and don´t really know what to expect but are excited to travel on. We also have plans to travel into Chiapas, Mexico to experience the Mayan ruins.

That is all I have time for now. The hotel has been very kind to let us use their internet for free. But that also means that I am sitting at the hotel´s main desk feeling like an imposing American. More to come at a later date.

Only one thing to say...

One week ago I was skiing in the Wasatch Mountains. Today I went snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean.

That is all.

Hello from Mexico!

Lauren and I have safely arrived in Oaxaca, Mexico but not without some very interesting experiences. We landed in Mexico City and had the general travel confusion but we made it to the gate and met a friendly friend. It just so happened that he was catching the same flight we were so we started chating. We happened to mention that we didn´t really have a place to stay in Oaxaca and that we were just going to wing it when we landed. He offered to help us out because his friends were supposed to pick him up in a rental car. Well that didn´t exactly happen but we did end up getting a free place to stay last night with Christian (our friendly friend) and some of his friends after some lovely tequila at a bar with waiters who wore Mexican wrestling masks. So begins our adventures in Mexico...

We definitely missed the bus this morning to Huatulco were we have a place lined up to stay. We bought tickets to leave this evening around 9pm and are to arrive in Huatulco at 4:30am. So Huatulco tomorrow for a few days.

Hope all is well!

Intro...

As the day of my departure for Central America quickly approached a friend of mine recommended that I start a blog to help me chronicle my trip. As I thought about it more I realized that a blog would be an excellent way for my friends and family to know what I was up to while traveling through Mexico and Central America. So here it is... I hope you enjoy the posts that I make and please feel free to make comments. I will miss you all but I know that you are all jealous that you aren't sitting on the beach with me. ;)

I hope to update this blog thing as much as possible so stay tuned for all the stories and pictures I will have to share...
