Hola! Part Three

Days 3 to 7: Tennis, Sleep, Food - The rest of my days at Tennis El Palmar had a nice pattern. Get up early, enjoy the fresh bread that was delivered to my door each morning with some cheese. Head off to tennis - throughout my 7 days in Mexico - people came and went but there was always great people to play with. After tennis - another shower, a snack and probably a nap.




Later in the afternoon there would be a trip to the market or the corner store for supplies. In addition to my many fish tacos I had fresh fruit(strawberries, mango, pineapple), guacamole with lime and torillas everyday! In the evening once it got cool there would be dinner at a local restaurant. One night we had a bbq with everyone staying in the complex.

The one thing I didn't get to do in Mexico was surf or even swim - the waves were just a little too intense. They broke really close to the shore and at times were very big. The last night I was there they were so big they shook the building! My door rattled every time a wave came in. Most nights though the sound of the waves put me to sleep.
I read two books while I was gone and at the end of the week I marvelled at my face - no bags under my eyes and the crevice between my eyes (my work stress wrinkle) had disappeared. I think I could have stayed in Mexico indefinitely!
