Cacnun: Part 1

Hey everyone! I got back from Mexico on Monday, and I Can't wait to share my stories with you! Before I start, I have to introduce all the people i went with. So the family that invited us were Nick, Natalie, and Noah, who are the kids of Judy and David, and the Other Family has a son named James ( who's 3), and a daughter named Francis. Also, the Hotel I stayed at was called the Mayan Palace. So lets start with the first day i got there. The Airport stuff was super boring, Since we had to wait in Mexico city for about 4 hours. We ate at a nice Taco place called Tacos 747, but other than that, i just read my book. We got to Cancun, and immediately I was struck by the Humidity. As soon as i got out of the Airport, my whole body started to feel sticky! Anyways, we get Picked up By Judy and David, and get to our hotel in a jiffy. I was super excited to see Noah, who is 4 years old, and iv known him ever since he was a baby. He tells me that I'm his favorite person in the world! So after about 5 minutes in the Hotel room, Nick, who is also 13, invites me to go the the pool with him. I was kinda iffy, since it was Midnight, and i had to wake up at 4 earlier that morning just to get to the airport, but i agreed. We got to the pool, and it was HUGE! There were about 6 pools connected to each other, each ending in a small waterfall, and on the floor were neon lights. We swam for about an hour, and then headed off to their hotel room to sleep, since we wouldn't get ours until tomorrow. So, i slept on the floor with my head smelling like cholrine, excited to see what was going to come tomorrow!

I woke up the next morning to find out that my parents and all the other parents had gone out for groceries, so i was in the house with all the kids, and Nicks Grandmother. She made me some tamales for Breakfest, and i quikly got to work on Noah and James. The two of them were playing nice... for a while. Noah is in the stage of his life where he likes to punch things, and luckilly for James and I, we were the targets. So Noah punched james in the stomach suddenly, and he began to cry, and so Noah got a time out. Then, noah and James were playing on the bed with theyre legos, when Noah pushed him off of it, making James hit the corner of a table, and falling to the ground. Another time out! Finnally, Noah got the Idea, but another accident was about to follow. Noah got a really big bouncy ball, and jumped on the bed, But james wanted it too, so he jumped on the bed next to Noahs, and jumped towards the ball.Since it was so bouncy, he hit the ball, and then was flung back all the way to the bottom of his orignal bed and started crying. Noah and I, on the other hand, started laughing at what had just happened, because it really was funny. James saw we were laughing, and he calmed down a little, and they started playing again. The adults come home, and Nick and Natalie and Noah all want to go to the pool, and so everyone went. I started swimming, doing a few laps, when Noah comes in front of me, and tell me i have to play with him. So we played tag, jumping and diving in the water, and then i go do a fitness thing in the pool. We swam for a pretty long time, and then we decided to go and eat at a "Cuban" restaurant. Let me tell you, that was NOT Cuban food. Do you think that lemon grass and pineapple egg rolls are Cuban, no matter how tasty they were? The food wasn't bad, but i expected a LOT more. We got back to the Hotel room, and then just went to sleep.

Day three of our trip was almost exactly like the previous one. We went to the pool, we played tag, we ate at that "Cuban Place", and went home. But this time, instead of going home, We danced a little to some Latino music. Well, it was only me and natalie, and our moms, but still, we had fun. After some dancing, Nick and Francis wanted to show me the arcade and computer room. Theyre werent many arcade games, but i got to check my email and myspace, and have fun with Noah a little. But you will never believe what he did to a dude inside... He spanked him. For no reason! He just went up to him, and did it. I was in utter amazment, but still, it was funny! As we walked home, Noah started rambling about zombies and how theyre made of glass and etc etc, which i laughed at, but not his mom. We got to our hotel room, and slept. So stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 and maybe 4 coming out this week!
