My dear darling friends.
Humungous hugs and smooches to all of you!! Ahhh. My first internet access from Mexico is sweet indeed!! It has only been a few days since I left on a jet plane from Colorado, but there seem to be a million things jumping in and out of my mind. And I want them all to jump right out onto this page for you all!!
However, I want to start with a disclaimer that this right here is my first ever blogging attempt in the history of Hannah. (yipes!!) Let me describe my surroundings. Internet Cafe. Downtown Palinque, Mexico. I never imagined that so many sounds could crowd into one small “computer lab” (I call it that because that is exactly what it is, no coffee to be found — believe me, I looked!! : ) We’ve got ghoul sounds and machine guns coming from about 8 different computer games, teenagers downloading American pop music everywhere, babies crying… it´s BEAUTIFUL!! Wink.
I have about 15 minutes, all you ladies and gentlemen, to get my thoughts into words; and so I will start off with my favorite part of my first 4 days. As many of you may not know, I arrived about a week after the other Racers. ( I had to be in Breckenridge with my fantastic family for a week… I know, boo hoo!!) But at last I arrived on Sunday. We went to church in a local town. It was precious. They “killed the fatted calf” for us literally, and we had the most heavenly beefy tacos, savoring of sheer southern Mexico goodness. (Im actually starting to fantasize about beef, but anyways back to the story now¨: ) I included a few photos (if I have time) of some of the cute kids we played with… they loved seeing themselves on our cameras. Anyhow, after church, our team loaded up and cruised on over to Agua Azul… a series of amazing waterfalls and swinning holes (check out the other blogs for some amazing photos). It was astonishing. We swam for hours. It was one more thing to cross off my list of “must dos” before I die. Not to be morbid. Eventually I will post a pic of me jumping off, but time is shrinking, and I need to wind it up Gwen Stefani style.
Guys, I wish I could write more! God has been rocking my face off.. By that I mean breaking me tremendously. Im getting what I asked for : ) I want to tell you all I love you and I will keep you posted from hear on forth as much as I can. Blessings.
