Our last day yesterday was really nice. We went to the places I mentioned yesterday and I think she and Delphine liked it. We got to Coatetelco a little late, so it was light out when we arrived but got dark while we were eating. That was really pretty. It was the first time I had been there at night and I got to see the lake with the mountains arond it and all the lights on the mountain coming on. Of course, the fish was good, as usual.
So, the newest thing going on is that I am trying to go home for spring break. The whole Cuba thing didn�t work out, which is fine with me, because I could save the money. Plus, it�s more expensive this time of year, meaning the Semana Santa here in Mexico. So, the next plans were to go with some people to southern Mexico, Chiapas. It is supposed to be really nice. Well, the thing is, I don�t like traveling and doing things with big groups, and especially not with some of the people who were going. They are all nice people, but I just am not really interested in going with them. Besides, Kahuna made a good point yesterday. He said that Semana Santa is the absolute worst time to travel in Mexico, yet, it�s when all the students are trying to travel. For those who don�t know, Semana Santa starts the 21st and it is like a national vacation week in Mexico, so everyone is traveling. This is why the prices for Cuba were a bit higher. Well, Kahuna said that someone told him that if you haven�t got your hotels booked, you can forget it- you weren�t going to find anywhere while you�re traveling and besides that, the prices are a lot higher, too, so you�re paying more for more crowded hotels, restaurants, and highways. I can forsee a lot of camping out and I am not interested in that. He is planning on just staying here and taking day trips, which I think is a great idea. Already have the house to stay in and food and all.
My thing is that I need to get my hair done. Yes, I know, that is a ridiculous reason to buy a plane ticket home. But not really. I get my hair relaxed and I don�t think too many people do that here. I could probably find someone, but I�d almost rather go home that do the hassle of looking. Then, I�d have to make sure they knew what they were doing and I can�t risk all of that. Plus, it would be great to get out of this increasingly hot weather and go to NC for a while. I could see my family and Charles and just do whatever for a few days. This all depends on the plane ticket deals that I find. I am looking right now and am not quite as pleased as I want to be. I will keep everyone informed of what happens.
