Rainy Huatulco

I went the beach last weekend. It was a nine hour bus ride through the very curvy moutains. I took Dramamine for the nausea...and gave to several other people as well. I was so excited to see the beaches in the area where Y Tu Mama Tambien was filmed and to see a friend that I have made in Oaxaca who just started teaching in Huatulco. Almost immediatly after I arrived on Friday night, it started to downpour!! The rain didn´t stop until Sunday morning. HOwever, it wasn´t cold, so we went to the beach and went swimming anyway. It is a beautiful place, and when the clouds cleared for a few hours on Sunday I got to do some snorkeling on a reef right off of one of the main beaches, La Entrega. I would like to go back, but I am not sure I will have the time.
Tuseday, the 16th is Independence day in Mexico. Everywhere I look I see green, white, and red. The main Zocolo is beautiful with all the lights and decorations. I am not going to school on Tuesday so I can see all the festivities. On Monday night, I am going with Nora to a nearby pueblo to go to a fiesta that a friend of her´s is hosting. Should be a fun. Right now, I am going to go to a swimming pool in Oaxaca....I am interested to see what they are like!
