What I Love About Mexico

A lot of people ask me why I go to Mexico so much. Here are just a few reasons why it is one of my favorite places on earth.

• Ordering chicken salad at a mexican restaurant. 
• Having the guitar guy serenade you in his awful singing voice.
• The whole table singing feliz navidad.(or some spanish song)
• Only getting fanta strawberry(it's better here).
• The yummy grilled onions with super spicy salsa.
• The shop ladies that try to sell you 1572647 bracelets.
• The spanish menus so you don't quite know what you're ordering.
• The super salty water that stings your eyes.
• The sand dunes to ride 4 wheelers on to get to the ocean.
• The random hummingbirds that come to the window.
• Everything always has a thin layer of sand on it.
• The smell of my grandparent's house.
• Sitting in the sun that isn't too hot.
• My hair getting curlier
• Building sand castles for the waves to knock down.
• Sandy Ritz Crackers.
• Never enough sunscreen.
• The sand dollar trails.
• Huge flocks of huge birds.
• Seeing the beach from my window
• Throwing a football around with my dad.
• Laying out front in the sun.
• The huge bonfires with smores.
• Stargazing on the roof.
• Not putting on makeup or doing my hair at all.
• The comfy couch that I have taken so many naps on.
• Church with 50 people.
• Not understanding a word anyone is saying.
• Not caring what anyone is saying ;)
• The white shells.
• That line of rocks that cut your feet before you get to the water.
• Taco nights and pancake mornings!
• Playing a thousand rounds of ping pong.
• The abandoned house across the street that haunts the neighborhood
• The pink casino that only has a front (literally nothing else has ever been built)
• Losing every card game. 
• Constant card games being played in the kitchen. 
• The little turtle bobbleheads.
• No cell phone service
• My dog chasing every bird on the beach
• The unmarked&unfinished everything
• The bead game in the office that frustrates the heck out of me but I play it anyways.
• The cute little crabs that are faster that you could imagine
• Nighttime movies before bed with a gigantic bowl of popcorn
• Lots of flip flops everywhere
• Life is simpler
• People are happier
• It's warm
• THE OCEAN

Life is better at the beach.
