How to skim-board
Brought to you by Kevin.
Step #1: Look Good. Very important.
Step #2: Make friends with the locals.
Step #3: Have the little locals look up to you.
Step #4: Learn how to kick sand on you board. All the cool kids are doing it.
This makes it heavier and easier to throw down.
Step #5: Go for it. And do it like this:
Step 6: Kick sand on your board again.
Step 7: Try it again, spray better. and try synchronize skim-boarding with a local.
Congratulations! Your a pro skim-boarder now.

day tres
Sorry, yes I am doing this day by day. It might be boring to you, but this here blog is a journal for me since I suck at keeping a journal. So this is for my memory. 
For lunch we found a little "hip" place. Kevin said it reminded him of Ecuador. All the places he ate for lunch were just like it: LOUD music videos and/or soccer on the TV's. He loves it when these mission memories come back to him.
They had the best chips everywhere we went. We didn't dare touch the salsa that came with them, they were all incredibly spicy. They always would bring out a chipolte-mayonnaise with the chips, which we wouldn't touch either. Pretty sure mayonnaise needs to be kept cold, but it rarely was. In Belize, Kevin and his buddy ate some of this with their chips and ended up almost dying (or so they say) from food poisoning.
Kevin had an awesome shrimp ceviche "ceviche de camaron"
I had a shrimp taco. And yes I only got two shrimp. But they were good!
I loved noticing all the cultural differences here. When you go out to eat you always have to ask for the check at the end. It is considered very rude to give you your check when you are finished if you didn't ask for it. We would forget to do this so we would end up hanging out for a bit and then realize we needed to ask for the check.
When I serve, If I don't give them their check right when they are done, that would be considered rude.
Kevin looooved this beetle. For some reason they didn't think it was quite small enough so they shortened it. If we live in Mexico, this would be our car. Which might happen...kidding. Well Im kidding. Kevin found that they have no kite boarding schools there, but he saw the locals out kite boarding. He said we should start a little kite boarding rental and training bungalow. He said he was "20% serious." I told him no. I can stand the heat and humidity for a week, but I DEFINITELY could not live there. My hair does not like Mexico.
For a treat after lunch, we went and got a MAGNUM. Kevin said these were a treat on his mission. Whenever they had a bad day, him and his fat companion would go and buy a Magnum. They were $1, which was quite costly to them. But he said it was totally worth it. I got one covered in almonds...mmm it was good.
The cauliflower soup in the back was Ecuadorian. They eat a lot of cauliflower there. Its so fun to see all of the comparisons between Mexico and Ecuador. All this food brings back memories of mission stories I love to listen too.
We had chinese rice with shrimp for dinner. Can you tell that we loved shrimp this trip?
Creme brulee for dessert.

day dos
And this is what the majority of our day looked like. Hanging out at the beach.
we got some real good loungin' in. Kevin started and finished the Mockinjay, and then almost finished the first Hunger Games. I turned him into a reading monster. 
This is my "hello, welcome to our bungalow!" wave.
all security cops always had an "oozie" on him (yep, kevin told me to write that).
For lunch we went to this little place that supposedly raised their own fish. Who knows if this is true, but their fish n' chips and shrimp tacos were delish!
With our drinks they gave us this drink of some sort. I finally got Kevin to try it first and we figured it was some sort of shrimp water/soup. It was warm, shrimpy and kinda gross. But it was a nice gesture.
Kevin loves taking close ups of me. Whhhhhyyyyy?
It was Italian night at Mahekal, our least favorite night. Even though we weren't fans of the main, at least the desserts were good. They had a really good tiramisu.
Kevin wanted to do a fashion shoot. So fashion shoot I gave him.
