por supuesto!

Wow. Another amazing day in Cancun for J.Jane and em. We woke up late, got stuff for a picnic from the grocery store, took the CORRECT bus to the beach and ............. nada mas. The entire day was filled with people watching, swimming reading and laughing at one another. I cannot remember having a more relaxed and enjoyable day. The silliest thing of the day was my crazy belly burn. I must have been very lazy while putting on the sunscreen, becuase i had two perfectly white hand prints on a rather burned red belly. HA.

One of the reasons our day was so relaxed was due to our adventures the night before.

First, we headed down to this little plaza that featured traditional dancing, tons of food stalls and families and friends everywhere. We ate some delicious corn, saw some beautiful shows and watched the children play. Also, we found a guy with an espresso machine and I had one of the best cafe con leches of my entire life. After that, it was off to find some live music at the jazz bar.

The jazz bar was unreal. The beer was good, the tequila was awesome and the band blew my mind. The people we met at the bar were real charecters- from the 45 year old cougar pickin up boys half her age, to the grizzley busiman from Brussels, the adorable waiter (with whom we plan on going to salsa with later in the trip and the super duper hot bass player from the band... everyone was interesting, they all had a story.

After the jazz bar, we went back to the hostel to freshen up (at 3am HA) and were planning on going out dancing. Just as we were leaving our hostel we heard drumming, mad-wild-kinetic drumming, along with hoots and hollers and laughing. Upon review we realized that there is a reggae bar not more than 200 yards away from where we sleep. The decision was made- we had to go there. It was the type of bar dreams are made of. Not a gringo in the joint, 20 people pounding on drums in the corner, and only 40s of Sol on the menu. It was dirty, dark and just the place I wanted to be.

The night ended on a rather high note, with members of the band from the jazz bar showing up. They were all really sweet and I hope to meet up with them again on the way out of Cancun.
