So. Conclusion number one - Veracruz is one of the more trashy destinations in Mexico. But let me tell you, it was great to dip my body into the great Atlantic. I've missed that guy.
Funniest moment? Walking to the water with Zoe on day 2, about an hour into our lazing in the sun.
Lifeguard: Ummm, can I talk to you for a second?
Me: Sure
Lifeguard: It's just that... well, you are very burned and that is very dangerous for your type of skin.
I live in the frozen tundra that is Vermont and I am not ashamed. Just let me tomar some sol!!
I think equally hilarious, however, was an interaction we had with one of the more annoying beach vendors. He first asked if Zoe was from China and proceeded to explain that he thought this because her eyes were slanty, which he demonstrated for us on his own face. Not politically incorrect at all. And then proceeded to try to sell me cheetos, when I denied he said "Yeah, you wouldn't want to get fat." and I proceeded to tell him I wanted to get fat, and he said "Nooo, but you're so beautiful!" COME ON DUDE I CAN BE FAT AND BEAUTIFUL!
Anyway, gonna go enjoy the Mex with the friends. Love y'all.
