It rains in Mexico? (Post 2 of 2!)

The new year started off with a bang.  And by bang, I mean pouring rain.  Jake and I didn't let that stop us from going on our usual morning run on the streets of Mexico.  (That might be a slight exaggeration because I'm pretty sure I had to drag Jake out of bed... haha.)  Once we were out on the roads, we both concluded that running in the rain is our favorite time to run.  So cleansing and peaceful!  Since our usual routine of laying on the beach and doing absolutely nothing was interrupted by rain, Lacy decided it would be a great day to go to her favorite hot springs!  It was a rough ride back into the hills through mud, rocks, and dirt, but we eventually made it to La Cucaracha and found the beautiful hot springs.

Muddy ride!

La cucaracha, la cucaracha!

Bienvenidos!

Natural hot springs fed into 20 different pools! 

Love this guy!

The rest of the trip was uneventful.  Well... almost.  Except for a horrendous bout of food poisoning that put Jake out-for-the-count for 2 days... :(  Luckily his wife was there to give him a nice shot of Zofran (anti-nausea) and force feed him delicious Pedialite. (I offered to give him an IV, but he somehow found the strength to drink the Pedialite!). After recovering, he was back to his Taco-eating self and we enjoyed a few more days of R&R.

I could literally swim in a bowl of that stuff.  Phenomenal!!

YUM.

One of the coolest parts of our trip, was stumbling upon a baby turtle release on our last day!  

"Little dudes are just eggs, we leave 'em on the beach to hatch,
and then — koo-koo ka-choo! — they find their way back to the Big Ol' Blue." 

So many baby turtles, dude! 

Love

And they're off!

Since I been slacking on blog postings and I am obviously lacking pictures from my trip, here are a few more!

I miss this face already!

Sunset dinner con mi amor.

Until next time, Mexico!  Hasta pronto!
