Am I really living in Mexico? Sometimes I think about how I never thought I would be where I am today. Living in this corner of Mexico known as the Yucatan Peninsula. Although it seems like all of decisions in my life brought me to where I am today.
I have to say that this corner of the country is pretty average Joe. Stay with me here. This is an enormous working city, everything closes down by 5 and not just for "siesta" either. It really shuts down. Yes its full of culture, yes it feels more like a foreign land and yes it offers old world, colonial charm but I just don't feel like I can settle here, or that my family will rest here for the remainder of our existence. This isn't the last stop and I know its still early in our Yucatan adventure, but I need some action! I need the beach and the breeze and the laziness that goes along with dusty beach towns. Puerto Vallarta taught me that about myself, and I think it will always be calling for me in the distance. But forward we will go and I believe that I will know once we have found that special place. Until then I will soak up as much as I can here, I will promise to keep my eyes and my soul open and take everything it gives me with much appreciation and gratitude.
