33 - La Playa - San Blas --Oct 26

La Playa - San Blas
Alma and her mom Teresa invited myself and another friend of Alma´s to spend the weekned at the beach with them.  We went to San Blas which is a tradition for them to go to.  It was about 8 hours away by car.  So, we had quite an adventure.  I learned alot over the weekend - lots of new vocabulary (slang), what the locals do in small pueblitos, and just about life in México. 
¡Muchísimo Gracias a Teresa y Alma para invitarme!
 
Mónica y yo ready for the treck.  We were the backseat.
 
Our terrific driver

My first shrimp in México.  I couldn´t get over the fact that they still had their eyes!

Our first night in the beach town.  We left Thursday morning and returned Monday morning
We were sweating from the heat and humidity.
 
Hotel room with 2 beds and a bathroom, 5 minutes from the beach, for $20 bucks, I love Mexico!
 
Enjoying the sand!

¡Gracias chikas por montando los caballos conmigo!
 
 
 
 
 
All along the beach our these restaurants.
 
These ladies were here for like 5 hours, just listening to music and drinking, they were quite entertaining.

Ricky loved the car rides!!

A local cafe-bar we hung out at every night, and talked with the bartender Bernardo.  He was cool!  And told us about the history of San Blas, and what happend to it recently when the hurricanes hit it a couple of years ago.  He had fish swimming in his house!
And you can´t forget the ICECREAM!! 
Mira, chickas, somos negritas!
 
¡BUENAS DÍAS!
Going for snacks in the morning!

So do they each the shrimp with the eyes?  Or do they cut off that part?  How about you?

Great Pictures!  The shrimp were cool.  Did you ever figure out where you went?  I'm guessing it was nowhere near where the hurricane was.  I miss you!

No, you pull off the eyes and the skin.  We were in San Blas, which is like 2 hours away from Puerta Vallarta (a famous tourist spot).  this beach was awesome, cuz there were hardly any tourists.  Miss you too.
