your hair reminds me of danish pastries

it's amazing how different people create different views of places. with britta here i have had great fun touring the cultural and moreso artistic side of mazatlan. i've wanted to get down there for a while, but i haven't really had someone to share it with. we did some shopping at plaza mechado, and i finally got myself some jewellery. about time, i say. how dare i be in mexico for two months and not buy a scrap of jewellery. who cares about groceries? not me. ok, yes i do, but jewellery first.

we've also done some more bus hopping. we've wandered all over, gotten ourselves lost a few times, and managed to make it home alive every time. i'm impressed by us. and we found a splendid coffee shop that makes a great espresso mocha. it's super. there's crazy, live piano whenever we go and a really nice, clean bathroom. which is a huge plus in mexico.

i must say that i have fallen in love with the downtown of mazatlan. there are some neat areas that i have yet to explore. beautiful, tall, old buildings, with wonderful windows and tilework; narrow cobblestone roads lined with trees and hedges; a theatre, art gallery, art school, english library... if you get away from the touristy parts of town, there are some really interesting things to see. i need to spend more time down there.

hello there my dear ol' friend, erin m. i want to start by saying you are electric.
missing you up here as is everyone i'm sure. haven't commented on here until now but i do keep up with your blog. jealous as everyone else. months of the sun and the sand and the sea.
i will be flying over you in about two weeks though so think of me and wave.
so we had a final martini party for our kandis marie who will be getting married in one week. thought that i would let you know that we put your glass up in memory of you. couldn't seem to let anyone else use it. i can see myself in ten years having someone over and being like, no that's erins glass, or melissa's or kandi's. l'il m has yet to claim one for herself(or is that l'il e-h-m).
love ya
ps i'm sure that miss piggy is missing you as well.

it's not easy being green.
