Playa del Carmen and other stuff

This past weekend, 16 out of our group of 23 spent the weekend at Playa del Carmen. Playa is a 4 hour plus drive from Mérida, but it was nice to have a break.

Other than going to the beach, things have pretty much settled into a routine here. I get up pretty early on most weekdays to go to class or the secondary school where I observe one day per week. I usually come back to my house for lunch by 2 in the afternoon, then I usually work on homework or take a nap, then some days I go back to the center of Merida for class with the Calvin group or to tag along with my host sister when she goes shopping or to a church meeting or other activity.

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks:



The bus ride to Playa del Carmen...when you have more than 4 hours to kill, looking at the clouds becomes fun again

Maria and I at the beach


Drying clothes on the line is fun...especially when it doesn't rain!


This is the second large bag of grapefruit like this that my family has bought since I got here - I'm really glad that I like grapefruit.
