Mexico is AMAZING.
We drove for about 30 minutes up the coast to this little beach town. Dad rented a house on the water here. The house isnât as nice as ours at home, but itâs RIGHT on the beach! When we got here, there were two women in the kitchen who work at the house and make food and clean everything. Itâs like a hotel only the food is included and itâs a lot cheaper to just rent the house for a week.
I am sitting writing this in a little hut that is right on the beach in front of the house. Itâs nicer than a hut, really. Itâs just a thatched roof over beautiful tileâsort of like a gazebo, only no walls or lattice. Thereâs a little bar with a sink and some stools next to a grill, and big cushions on built-in benches all around the perimeter that face the water. I watched Cam head down the beach with a surfboard a few minutes ago.
Itâs so strange being in a place where my phone doesnât work at all. I didnât realize how much Iâd been texting Ross and Lauren in the past few days. Or Blake. Itâs funny; when I think of him my heart races, but Iâm not sure I even like him. I feel like heâs the ocean and Iâve fallen in and the waves are too big; like Iâm in over my head. Iâm not even sure which way is up anymore.
All I can see in front of me is water. The beach seems to goon for miles, and miles. The sound of the waves hitting the shore is loud and the rhythm makes me take deep breaths. Everything just feels slower hereâmore relaxed.
Except for the waves, itâs so quiet.

Today was so FUN! Dad booked this thing called a canopy tour for us and we went zip-lining through the trees. It was scary at first, but it made my heart race in a really fun way. That feeling of free falling really fast for just a few seconds always takes my breath away. Itâs SO SCARY, but SO FUN. When I was on, I looked down like 5 stories and thought, AM I REALLY ABOUT TO DO THIS??? I couldnât believe it, but I just jumped!
WWWWHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
It was SO. MUCH. FUN!!! As soon as I did it, I couldnât wait to do it again.
Canât wait for dinner! Iâm STARVING. The food here is SO GOOD. Tonight the cooks said they were making something called ceviche that is fish and lemon juice and other stuff. I canât wait to try it!

I fell asleep on the beach this afternoon, and I wouldâve gotten SO sunburned except Mom came down to join me and wokeme up just as I was starting to get a little pink. She rubbed some sunscreen into my shoulders, and then I did her back. It was actually fun to lie on the beach with her. She told me she thought Ross was really sweet. I told her about meeting Lauren at the party. At first I was worried that she was going to start grilling me, but she didnât! She said she was really glad that Iâd made a friend, and she was excited to meet her.
I also told her that Ross was gay. She just smiled and asked me how I felt about that. All of a sudden I felt really close to her, like my opinion really mattered to her. I told her that I was confused at first because he hadnât told me right away and he was such a guyâs guy. He liked surfing and sports and drove a truck and everything. Anyway, we talked for a long time. She told me about this guy sheâd dated in high school who wound up coming out when he went to college, and the story was so funny. Maybe not the story, but the way she told it. It was like we were girlfriends sharing secrets.
Dad was reading up in the little hut-gazebo thing and came down after a while of hearing us laughing. He brought Mom a margarita and me a Diet Coke. We all sat there on the beach and watched Cam riding waves. It felt so good to be there with them, to feel like I was part of something special.
