Mexico - FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, this will be my last blog post before heading out of Mexico and to Thailand to join Probability and meet up (again) with Robin and Oord. My decision to move to Mexico 6 months has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in life. I have enjoyed every second here, and if there are unenjoyable moments, they get chalked up as "experience" and filed away in the "great time" department. I will just list some of the things I have done, experienced, accomplished, seen, heard, felt, lived...etc.

No particular order:

- discovered the best tacos in the world and ate an unbelievable amount of them.
- bottle serviced the club to the tune of probably 20+ bottles
- learned to dance "banda" (with some amazingly hot women)
- went from 20% fluent to 70% fluent in spanish
- drove through the aftermath of a hurricane for 20 hours.
- hit a cow
- ate the most indulgent greasy street drunk food on earth
- swam with whale sharks
- swam with sea lions
- swam in the sea of cortez AND the pacific in the same day
- brought 17 people down here to visit me over all and had a blast with everyone of them
- re-learned how to DJ and pretty convincingly tore it down when the party was a-callin'.
- played poker in Mexican home game
- played poker in Mexican Casinos
- lost 19 lbs
- bribed mexican police on 4 different occasions.
- lost my dog when she ran away
- found my dog when we offered a reward
- stayed in baller hotels directly on the beach in Cabo
- ate clams just pulled from the ocean in front of someone's house
- caught a 15 lb Durado (ate it)
- caught a 25 lb Tuna (ate it)
- visited Mexico city for 8 days
- visited Guadalajara for 3 days
- learned to Surf at perhaps the greatest beach in the world
- had rolling races with Robin down sand dunes at perhaps the 2nd greatest beach in the world
- made legit bet with Robin as to who could bring a female to said sand dune 1st and___. robin won
- ran sickly hot as a wingman for Robin, Kyle Bork, all friends 1 night at the Jungle,
- tried my hardest for crispy (5 days left)
- had Robin perform the greatest wingmanship I've ever seen for me.
- met people from Argentina traveling through who are now life long friends
- discovered the real way to make/eat pork
- got mexican dental work
- did not get sick once
- Prop bet the shit out this bitch
- Drank more beer than I thought existed
- Ran b/e in poker for 6 months.
- returned home for Christmas to surprise my mom
- drove (yet again) through Baja to La Paz
- Almost got sent to jail

So true how the people you chose to have around you are the REAL source of good times, great experiences and make it unforgettable:

People who deserve mad props for coming to visit: Robin, Nuey, Reefy, Crispy, Kyle, Kyle, Papa, James, Jordan, Derek, Paul, Evy, Grace, Jaymes, Tri, Julia, Chau.

People from La Paz (pazenos) who have made the trip amazing: Sarai, Gladys, Miguel, Hanibal, Noelia, Jazmine and Jazminne, Karem, Paolah, Okimi, Arian, Nubia, Amerika, Jorge, Denisse, Blanca, Chepe, Edgar, Areli, Jaqki, Mitzi, Mirta, Esdras, Lilian and Jessica.

I'm sure I left people out but not on purpose.

Round 2 in Mexico will be just as epic I'm sure (spring break ftw).

Will post about availability later if anyone is interested.

If any one of you is on the fence at all about taking an opportunity like this to travel/live abroad, then gfy, stop being a puss, and go do it. You will not regret it.

I hope I don't get the hatred Fees got, but it really has been a sick life.

TBC....

sick recap saus, Props to you for making the original trek out there. I can surely say it impacted my life in a very positive way and in one that I will never forget. Who'd a thought a long drive from the bay would result in this much happiness for yourself, and everybody else who got to take part eh? Random emails to ppl i dont know ftw lol
