I am ranting… I live in a tourist zone, I am overall happy living in a tourist zone I constantly am meeting people from all over the world. Do you know what I don’t like is fucking cheap tourist. I am speaking just for myself, but I fucking hate them. People go on vacation in tourist zones in Mexico and they think that since they have come to Mexico they are going to pay 50 cents for a fucking beer or anything that has tequila in it is going to be like a dollar. If those are the prices you are looking for then you need to vacation in a none tourist zone. You need to get off of the beach and away from anyone that speaks any kind of English. This community thrives on the tourist industry, but the people here are very accommodating to you lack of Spanish that Americans and Canadians speak. If you venture to Ixtapa everyone speaks English, and not just a little. Here in Zihua everyone speaks English, the fisherman, the ladies in the market, everyone speaks English.

My husband has a very small bar right in the middle of downtown, he speaks very good English and so does his daytime bartender. His beer and alcohol prices are very cheap, you pay less then 2 dollars for a beer, and any were from 3 to 5 dollars for a mixed drink, and this is with a very liberal amount of alcohol. You can buy a liter of draft beer for less then 3 dollars. You can drink it there or you can take it to go.

So for example yesterday there was a cruise ship here, and there was a million of people in town and a woman and her family stopped at the bar and asked how much is a margarita and the daytime bartender told her that it is 45 pesos and she left. I don’t know what she thought he was going to say but that is a very reasonable price to pay for a fucking margarita, maybe she doesn’t get the exchange rate, but that is less the $4.50 US. I know how much things cost when you go to the bar in the states, and people pay those prices like they are going out of style and never complain about it. So why do people wait until they are vacation to be cheap? You’re on vacation you should want to have a good time and not worry about the nickel and dime prices of things.

I know for myself that if I am on vacation I don’t want to worry about that kind of shit, I want to eat, drink, and do nothing. I am not going to wonder around town looking for the cheapest place to sit my fat ass down and have a drink; I am going to look for the people and stay were the party is at. And if you can’t afford to pay for an already cheaper then normal price then maybe you shouldn’t be drinking. Maybe you shouldn’t be on vacation.

It wasn't cockroach shit, it was cockroach eggs................ Fucking disgusting, I have killed over 20 cockroaches in the last two days. This is so fucking gross!

Yesterday I wanted to make Tarzan and I oatmeal. This should me an easy task since I have just recently purchased some Quaker oats, brand fucking new box of oatmeal. So I have the water boiling and I go to get the oatmeal, still has the safety seal on it, so I bust threw that and I open up the box. Inside the box of oatmeal appears to be little dried raisons, so I look at the label of the box did I accidentally get oatmeal with raisons in it. NO, it is full of fucking cockroach shit. I examined the box to figure out how this has happened; well to my surprise there was a small whole in the lid. So a whole box of oatmeal in the garbage.

We didn't get invited to dinner. I know that some where here in Zihua is Thanksgiving Dinner, and me and all my kids are eating the same mexican food that we eat everyday. I am so sad.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we haven't recieved one invitation for thanksgiving dinner.

This week we went to a baptismal and it was nice. Then it started raining and everything moved inside, and it was still really nice. Then there is Tarzan who I love more then anything in the world, but now when we go places as a family I take care of the baby, and TML takes care of Tarzan. When la Banda is together there is a group of kids and there are all girls beside the Tarzan and his partner in crime. There are two more boys my Paolo Benicio, and Paolo Alejandro but they are still brand new so they aren’t up to no good yet. So Tarzan and his partner in crime are always on the escape. I guess they want to be free, who knows what they are thinking. So at the baptismal they went outside, and when it was time to go home these two kids were down to their underwear.

The first photo is Monica and Beny, the second photo is me.

Is the word sheep singular or plural? If it is singular how do you say sheep plural?

Here in Zihua Halloween is weird! This is a North American holiday. Nov. 1st is Day of The Dead, but since I live in a tourist zone Halloween is still celebrated, and it is just wierd. That is the only way I know how to describe it. I will post photos of Tarzan soon. He was great, and I think the tourist who take photos of kids here should drop them a peso or two.

I am going to complain about Ricks Bar. Ricks Bar is more commonly known as gringolandia, because mexicans dont go there and Rick and his clients make it clear that they arent welcome there. For example on Halloween there are a million kids dressed up. The kids go to restaurents and stores, and whatever is open downtown. Ricks Bar being a location for North Americans this place is jammed packed with people in costumes. So as I was taking my little guy around to collect his fare share of spicy candy we stopped at Ricks where we were greated by a lady who handed my son a piece of candy and was told he couldnt go in, he was told he couldnt go in not because it is a bar, but because he is mexican. In her very poor spanish she was trying to explain to my 3 yr. old that the candy stopped there. I proceded to take him through the bar were he collected candy from everyone there. I could go on for hours about how disgusting this is.
