We're back! Kyle's foot is better, and we're ready to hit some crocodiles with a boat. (No animals were harmed in the writing of this blog.)
We spent part of the afternoon with our Mexican Mangrove guide, David, who taught us some spanish slang and took us out for an adventure. First some spanish slang:
- ¿Qué onda? = What's up?!
- El es una persona onda. = He's a cool person.
- Es changón. = It's cool
- una chela = a beer
- ¡Que mono! = How cute! (like a girl in the mall talking about cute shoes - only use to describe inanimate objects, definitely not babies, as mono literally means monkey)
- chido = pretty
- Simón = cool
Onto the adventure! Playa Ventanilla is a nearly untouched beach in the state of Oaxaca that is protected by Mexican law to preserve the habitat. For $3 US/ person, a guide takes you on a trip through the mangrovenext to the beach, in which we had a crocodile swim up to and touch our boat, saw iguanas hanging out in the sun, saw a white-breasted eagle eating apart a fish, and a turtle putting eggs into a hole in the sand literally right next to a crocodile. I say we got our $6 worth.
We're silly and adventurous, computer geeks and yoga peeps.

Im so glad to hear your foot is better Kyle! Nothing is worse than a bum leg/foot when travelling, aka walking everywhere (I experienced a symptom I called "leather leg" when I was in Italy for a week. Every step I took, my left leg creaked like old leather. And it felt like it too....made walking a little rough). And did I notice a BEARD?
Hugs to you both! Miss you!
