Embracing my "propeller head" and "hippy" ways

Depending on who you talk to, I am a "propeller head" (ie smart nerd) or a hippy. I like to think they're both terms of endearment.  They both applied today.

During the last two Mexico Adventures, I spent most mornings doing school work by the pool.  I don't miss the school work or the time it took.  But I did miss sitting by the pool in the morning, and the learning. So today, I started sitting by the pool in the morning to study my Spanish.  It feels productive.  It provides a nice way to say good morning to people. I like it!

Then, I cycled to Money Bar to swim and hang out.  Although I'm not exactly working hard, in any traditional way, I haven't really just hung out for any amount of time since my arrival.  But it was pretty windy, the waves were pretty big, it was a little chilly, and the hanging out was pretty appealing.  Drool on your towel while you nap kindof appealing!

The nap was really nice.  But while cycling home I got warm and I kept looking at the ocean.  I needed to swim!  So I did.  At a local / Mexican swim place.  It wasn't fancy in any way. I was the only gringo in sight.  The waves were a bit big.  But it was great!  And, when I was done swimming, I used my Spanish to chat with two young women who are studying "Tourism" in the State of Hidalgo (near Mexico City) and who are doing a work placement in Cozumel.  Very pleasant!

Top - Puddles, the cat, decided he likes me.  I like him too.  The only thing, is he has razor sharp claws and he was "kneading" (scratching / pawing) my chest.  Ouch!
Middle - Susan and Chris got pedicures before coming.  They have the pretty coloured toes.  My toes are plain and kinda hidden, by accident.  But it's not a big loss.
Bottom - More cool street art!
