The Coldest Day Yet!

This morning we woke up with no new mosquito bites. Thank goodness! This is probably due to the fact that we went to the pharmacy yesterday and purchased some OFF. We then proceeded to coat our entire bodies in it before we went to bed. Our Mama sprayed RAID on the corners of the room and around all the doors and windows. We also slept with the door closed. Luckily, as the title of this post suggests, it was a very cool night. This morning when we woke up, much to our delight, it was rather cool outside. It has been the coolest day yet (only about 85 degrees). This may sound like a lot, but it is much less humid here than it is at home, so it felt rather delicious. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning along with the most delectable peach yogurt we have ever tasted! I must repeat that ALL of the dairy products in Mexico are 100,000,000 times better than at home. I don't know what it is, but the US needs to catch on before we get home or we will be two unhappy chicas. We also had fresh fruit (like always). Today, Mama added papaya to the fruit tray. We can only describe the taste of papaya as heartburn mixed with vomit. Yeah. Luckily, Jillian has tasted papaya before and she warned Sarah not to put too much on her plate. Sarah, being stubborn as always, insisted on trying it anyway. Jillian was right. It did, in fact, taste exactly like heartburn. After this unfortunate incident, we were not planning on eating any more papaya. Much to our disappointment, when we raided the fridge earlier, we discovered that our Mama has an ENTIRE papaya in there. This means that we will be seeing papaya every day until it is gone. It's a good thing that we have beautiful smiles and are good liars when we don't like things. Commida was much better! We had Mexican spaghetti! It's just like the spaghetti at home except better! It has peas, carrots and corn in it! So yeah...pretty much it was delicious just like everything else our Mama cooks. After commida, we had ice cream (like always). It was the most delicious ice cream we've ever had in our lives! It was neopolitan. Yum! After commida, we went back to the school to swim. The water was really cold and it felt fabulous! We swam for about an hour and then came home and took a nap. Our Mama told us that the pool in our back yard will be ready by next week (it hasn't had any water in it because it is being painted). However, next week, we will probably grow gills from being in the pool so much. We are sorry to report that Paco did not, in fact, join us for commida today =( Maybe he will make an appearance tomorrow.
