Make it Better

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude refrain
don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a
fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little
colder Na na na na na
na na na na

Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na na na
na na na na yeah

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh

Happy Faces in Cancun!!!

Kevin with a happy face!

Victorious as ever! Ceci doubted we'd be able to come back!!!

row row row your boat gently down the "sea"...merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream.

Pablo, the white scare-crow.
Although I have to say ladies, he's back with a pretty nice tan...

Howdy!!!

My hot buff man!

Ok, so, about this photo...we were trying to get in and we kept falling out. The waves kept moving it and we happened to make fools out ourselves, which was fun...no doubt!
Another thing, we were staying for the day at the 2nd Oasis, and the bar was right next to us, and like I told you, we had free drinks all trip long, so it was very convenient to keep drinking.
Therefore...we might have been a little tipsy.

Os EUA me deixaram uma baleia!! Umm....uma baleiazinha na verdade.

Do I have to say something??? People look at this water!!!

Ceci, so cute!!!

A long day to Playa Del Carmen

A tired look from a long day of taking buses, beach in the next town, a lot of walking from early morning to night...and yet completely satisfied with the day!

Mexico

Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Going through the hotels by the bay.

Goofy pose

Tomando um solzinho basico...

By the streets of Playa del Carmen, these things were being sold fresh and alive, yucky.

Playa del Carmen street art

Me at Mamita beach!!!!

I love this photo because of the painting hanging on the wall of this adorable Mexican hostel.

Babe bribing some guy at Playa Mamita, as he tanned.

Me tanning too!

Playa del Carmen, but once again another thunderstorm of a few seconds was coming in, so the water looks a bit darker than it should.

I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.

An adorable British clock by a Mexican hut.

More beautiful hotels!!!

Cancun, Mexico - Caribbean Paradise!

Yes, as you can see, paradise in its purest form!
We were welcomed into our Oasis Cancun Hotel at 3pm, Wednesday afternoon after a straight flight from Chicago, the weather was incredibly hot and humid, but everything else was perfect. We checked in, had some drinks at the bar by the beach and got to know the gorgeous hotel.

That same night we all got together for diner, but we just couldn't choose out of the 11 restaurants as options for diner at the hotel. Which one...? decisions, decisions.
We had had a snack earlier by the beach's bar, so we weren't that hungry.
We decided for the Sushi restaurant, but after what we ordered, the men were still very hungry,
so we hit the Mediterranean restaurant for that night. Such is the photo above.

Enjoying our first afternoon at the beach in front of the hotel, and anticipating a thunder storm coming in the back, but that is the weather there, one second the sun's shining all over, and the next it's pouring rain!

An adorable flower photo by Ceci.

Amorzinho giving me a typical sarcastic look.

This one is by the bar at the beach, where Ceci and I are getting our first drinks of the evening, and a snack being that we were starved!

A fast shot of our Grand Oasis Cancun Hotel.
One side faced a beautiful lagoon and the other side was right in front of the Caribbean sea.

Ceci and Kevin, the sweetest couple, joined us to our trip to Cancun. Ceci came all the way from Canada and a day after her arrival we all took off to Mexico. At the hotel they were our next door neighbors, they hadn't seen each other for months, so...no comments!

A shot of one of the hotel's pool & restaurant. May I remind you the hotel was an all inclusive one, which meant all 11 restaurants and 10 bars at our choice at any time!

The guys hanging out our first afternoon by the shores of the Caribbean!

Just some more photos of the day

Ceci and I posing by the "whatever" fish ornament.
Sorry Ceci, I know you mentioned its name like a thousand times, I just really forgot.

More photos of meeeee

I guess there will be loads more photos of moi...being that well, women are just more fun to photograph...haha. Nah, alright, I'm pretty vain - Confessed!

Ceci and Mrs. Ficca

Some interesting artifacts from the hotel.

Kevin being a total fool. I have to say though I just LOVED the paintings they had all over the hotel. They all seemed to have been painted by the same person, due to the fact that they carried the same style in sketching and the colors! I absolutely ADORED them! At some point, even tried to take one away with me...hehe

I got a rainbow!!!
Yep, that first afternoon, the sky was gorgeous after a little thunderstorm with 2 rainbows!

Some prosaic plane photos.

Apparently this is supposed to be one of Pablo's favorite shots...
I don't get it though.

Updates naggers!

Ok, so for those who have been nagging at me all this time for updates, let me shower you with just a "few". The reasons why I haven't been updating is:
1 - I had sold my camera and for some very painful months had been without. And you know how I post - no photos...no post.
2 - I've been busy.
3 - I just didn't feel like it. I'm really not the kind of person that wakes up every morning and rushes to blog about how my toothbrush fell behind the sink.

But...I finally have a new amazing camera, my new beloved D90 Nikon, which also films....
and I've got time, and and...I just came back from Cancun!!! So I do want to tell.
