2nd excursion weekend

so we went on another excursion this weekend to campeche, another state in mexico to the south and west and it was very fun. its always a good time when we are all together. and plus everything is planned out for us and thus i dont have to think, just do what my program director tells me which is lazy but good. we first went to edzna, another ruin. they really do look alike and so it wasnt that special except that it was really hot and i was sweating. my favorite thing to do at the ruins is climb up to the top and look out over the forests and stuff. its really cool. then we went to this fortress outside of the city of campeche and it was fun. there were some guards at the fortress that were really funny. when they saw a bunch of americans, especially american girls, coming towards them, they started tucking in their shirts, fixing their hair, and one guy even pulled out a razor from i dont know where and started shaving. that is pretty much an example of how it always is when american women go somewhere. it was funny. then we went to the downtown of campeche and it was a pretty city but there was nothing to do. we went on a walking tour and the guy was in love with one of the ladies that helps out with our excursions. he only looked and talked to her the whole time. and then when we would arrive to a street he would stop and say, this is an old street, and then we would keep walking. at the end we asked him where some good food was and he told us the subway around the corner. that was pretty much the cherry on the top of this awful tour. my program director was furious. afterwards we just walked around and i bought some juice and they put it in a plastic bag and tied the top and put a straw in it. it was the best way to drink juice ever. just another thing that is so clearly mexican. went to our hotel after that and since there was really no where to go we just hung out at the hotel the whole night. then the next day we went to celestun, a city on the beach and we went on a flamingo tour which was cool. and we went into a mangrove forest and saw an underground river. the nature is cool here. on sunday it was freezing and so is today. im wearing the only sweater i brought here. but by freezing i mean around 60 or so. everyone is wearing scarves and big coats. i have another boring week of class before my parents come this weekend, and my brother. they are going to meet my mexican family and im going to have to translate the whole thing. it should be interesting but fun. we are going to go to chichen itza which i havent seen yet. ok, more for later, bye
