June 17th pm entry
Finally made it to the Gulf of Mexico. We rented some cabanas, put on our bathing suits and relaxed until about 5 pm. I went swimming for a little while and then came back and sat under the shade and read my book for a couple of hours. Shopping at the beach is alot of fun, because you can do it without leaving your chair if you like, the vendors come to you. Or you can go to the mini mall of palm tree huts and shop there. Heres a picture of Laura in a new coverup she bought on the beach. We also bought alot of pottery and a great deal of jewelry(none for me).The vendors also brought by corn on the cob, candy, fruit, and other goodies. We left around 5 pm.
Later that night we went out for dinner to Burger King and Baskin Robbins. Not very exciting, but it was nice to taste something familiar. What's so interesting about Mexico and the United States is how they are both becoming so similar. There are a lot of signs and places in Mexico with english names and labels, but much of the States has many names in Spanish. Even in Elkhart this is very common. The two countries are connected closer every day.
