Well... I'm still here... it's such a terrible shame. ;) Didn't sleep in too late this morning, probably because we went to bed about 9:30 pm local time. Heh. David Letterman was on... it's time for bed.
Woke up several times this morning and gave up on going back to sleep about 6:30. Grabbed some food and watched tv for a while and then we went down to the beach and played with Nat, GREAT (more pics, still coming). Worse part was saying "no, thanks/no, gracias" over and over again to the people selling their wares on the beach. You can only see so many amigos selling shades, henna tattoos, and on and on and on... I finally saw something I DID like, and we didn't have any cash. Unfortunately, we also found out it was noon and thought that we'd better head back.
Checked on the work situation via the interwebz, not much missing there. Made some lunch, hung out a while longer, everyone took 5 and Nat and I went down to the little commerce area at the front of the development. Brand new coffee shop opened up since we got here, Nat had some gelato, and I had a frappacino, sort of. :)
I asked him what he's thought of the trip so far, and he said that he loves it. His big concerns are beach and pool crowding and sand in his shoes. I think he's coping well.
While we were there, I scheduled an appointment for a pedicure and brought the kiddo back here.
So I'm was sitting in the spa chair, I kept getting this tingling sensation in the tops of my legs. It was NOT getting better. You might call it a "burning" feeling. I am f'ing fried. My right arm now matches my left, and both of my legs look and feel like a freshly smacked baby's ass. My feet were a little pink, alarming the girl who worked on my toes. It was a hell of a pedicure for $65. I tipped her well. She was a local chica, who thought she was hurting me every time she hit a ticklish spot on my feet, and my God, there are at least 50. I liked the service so much that I'm going back tomorrow for a mani. :)
Fortunately, Nat has been spared the rath of Rah or whatever you want to call the sun god.
Tonight we're going to grill out and tomorrow is basically our last day here since we'll have to be out early in the day and have a 5 hour drive back.
I AM NOT COMPLAINING.... I love this place. I could live here. Seriously. Of course, the not working really helps.
Hope everyone is doing okay where they are.

Where have I been???!?!?!?!?!!
Okay, here is a little back blogging. I also have been writing on my myspace account from time to time, so this will serve as a little catch up.
Written on Monday, May 26th
Well.... we've been here a Puerto Penasco since late Saturday afternoon.
This is one beautiful place!!!! Right now I am writing in a wicker chair on our patio that overlooks the rest of the compound and I can see the ocean. It's cooler than you might expect. There's a nice breeze blowing, so if you're sunburnt I guess it's downright chilly.
I've got XM streaming, checking up on work and personal email.
We arrived about 4 or so local time on Saturday, we unloaded the truck and trailer in a flash... it helps when you have 4 people sharing the work. We got settled in and had a few drinks at a place with a patio overlooking the beach. The Mariachi's were working the tables and the breeze was so strong we went inside for dinner. The food was NOT as spicy as I thought it should be, I've honestly made better at home. I think they try to dumb it down for the tourists. We came home and CRASHED. I was so exhausted.
Yesterday Mom and I went down to the market, got some fresh seafood and did a little shopping. I got a super sexy sun burn on my left arm, and on my nose with a cool line from the monsterous sunglasses I was wearing. :) Then we came back and hit the pool with Nathaniel, pictures soon. We had fresh sea food for dinner, dug the shrimp, couldn't handle the clams, and then I hit the hay early again.
Today, I am just planning to relax, it's only 10:45 here, so we've got a full day ahead. I'm hoping that I'll be doing a lot of not-much-at-all. ;)
Tomorrow and the coming days promise to be much hotter and I'm ready for it. The place we're staying is definitely swank, I love it. I'll take some pics and post them soon.
Hope you all are doing well. I know this life is rough here, but someone's gotta do it.
