The funniest part was when Adam got Matthew to pretend he was a ventriloquist's puppet. Hilarious!

And guess what? It's for sale...
The problem is this: I do not want to live in Mexico. Too bad, so sad.

Between my broken hand and the bad weather (you'll see later), this was a kick-back vacation. We mostly read and looked for awesome taquerias. Our favorite is The Hangman...
(Notice how disgustingly sweaty we all are. It was 97º all week, even during the STORMS.)
The above photo was taken a day or two later when we attempted to go back. The weather was so awful that they just closed. We ended up at a place across the street, where Adam found the perfect burrito.
It rained so much the ceiling caved in three spots and water went everywhere. Everyone just kept eating. SO Mexico.

We had a lightening storm Monday night and the weather stayed bad until Thursday afternoon.
So we had to find ways to entertain ourselves...
Although the ocean was still too rough for boating, the weather broke enough for us to get out and play. While I got a massage on the beach, Adam went for a ride. He used to ride and train horses in the Army, so he had a blast with the friskiest horse...
Doesn't he look like Gilligan?

On our last day Adam finally got to go on a couple dives; visibility wasn't great. I watched waves and read my Kindle. I love love love this thing. OMG. LOVE. (I put it in a zippie to avoid sunscreen issues. I know, I need a better solution.)
As a crappy-weather consolation prize we upgraded to first class from Cabo to LAX. Sweet. (Thank goodness we weren't flying through Dallas on Saturday.) The layover at LAX was long and boring. Adam killed the time by profiling people people-watching. I think he looks more than a little scary. As you probably guessed, he had a few on the plane.

BROKEN HAND UPDATE
The swelling is almost gone, but it's still bruised and still hurts. The good news is my new, best-ever orthopedic surgeon decided it would be best not to freaking rebreak it reset it. I go back on October 1st to see how it's healing.

Obviously I can't teach until he clears me; I can barely type. I haven't been able to exercise or do much of anything, which is extremely bad for my psyche. I may try to walk through one of Adam's classes—meaning absolutely no arm movements, no jumping, no hopping, none of that nonsense. I thought about trying the eliptical one-handed, but any hand movement hurts and if I fall it could be disasterous.

Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes, emails, baked goods and cards. Shana (my sister-in-law) made this awesome card. Notice her attention to detail and use of orange, my favorite color. Hugs to her.
