Drive Chavo Drive!! Mex sick oh!!

The patio where we hang out for coffee and solve world problems. 

Lest I go all Facebook on you and paint a perfect picture of life in Mexico..here is a grim reality.  You get sick here! They should have a sign outside Sayulita..."Welcome to Sayulita...prepare to barf!" My sister was here 2 days and got sick...I got sick on day three and our friends entire family was sick on the second day visiting. Not fun...not fun at all. However, Tomas don't get sick). 

 There are several theories..but I think it has to do with the untreated sewage flowing into the ocean. Yuck, right? If only Mexico could get a grip on their sewage and sanitation system...Hey here's an idea...Instead of a zillion dollar wall lets actually HELP Mexico. Their water and waste system would be a good start. Seems like it isn't so great for tourism either.

The good news is that I am  fine now and able to exert myself turning pages of books, making pom pons, walking on the beach and swimming (if the water is clean) 

Dinner...took home and grilled

One of many things Mexicans have going for them is their happy temperament and of course the food. The music is lively and fun and it feels great to be greeted by so many happy folks. Despite so many warnings from fellow Americans about traveling south..we have always felt safe here. Our fellow travelers have many stories of being helped along the way by a Mexican.
