Friday:
There was a health fair at the Belmopan market that Kashay and I went to. When it ended at noon we headed over to wing stop to get my fav chicken wings....mmmmm...spicy mango.... We then started the 6 hour journey to Holly's house in Corozal. It was a very very long bus ride and I was grouchy with a numb butt by the time we got there.
The good mood quickly returned and we went to a restaurant by the sea.
Afterward we walked back to Holly's amazing apartment, watched some trashy tv, and went to sleep!
On the way we saw the most decked out house ever. If only there was snow.
Saturday:
The most amazing host ever, Holly, made us a breakfast of Pancakes. mmmmmm. After a bit we headed to the bus station to catch the bus to Chetumal. About an hour later we were through customs and in Mexico.
We then went to a really nice cafe.
I don't care for coffee but Kashay and Holly enjoyed theirs. The waiter seemed really happy to see us because he is learning English so he got some practice.
After the coffee we headed to the mall. THE MALL!
An actually mall. It was amazing. In it was a real movie theater!
We got our tickets and popcorn (none of us knew how to say popcorn but eventually figured it out).
New Moon was amazing. soooo much better then Twilight. Holly and Kashay weren't really into seeing it but I'm confident that I converted them to the Twilight Saga. Kashay is clearly team Jacob, while Holly and myself are obviously team Edward.
After the movie we had.... wait for it..... Mcdonalds!...
I was so excited.... It's pathetic I know.. I learned the the meals in Mexico are call McTrios.... I had a McTrio de BigMac con una coca...
I've also noticed that speaking to people in Spanish in Mexico is a lot easier then in Belize or Guatemala.... In Mexico they speak much more clear and also seem more patient with me trying to speak with them... amused even... everywhere would just get impatient....
We then did a little shopping in Mexico's version of Walmart..
I bought a bunch of cheap stuff for my house (pots, pans, skillets, silverware).. We also each bought a bottle of wine, bread, and goat cheese which we had later that night.
Back in Corozal, the restaurant we went to the night before said that they were having a big party with a balloon drop. (balloons in a net attached to the ceiling that drop and midnight and have prizes in it).. well the big party turned into us and five other people... I did enjoy popping the balloons though... Kashay even won a Belikin.
Sunday:
Sunday we slept in and went to a "resort" down the street from Holly's house. We laid out in the sun for a bit and ate some delicious nachos.
Kashay and I then took the very very long bus ride back home and crashed.

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten hurt by a toppling tower at the Mexican version of Wal-mart. And is it weird that the word verification to post this comment is "jaundis"? (I know, spelled differently...but still)
