Plane ride and my new apartment



That's a lot of agave...

It has been a long two days. I started my trek on May 10th. I woke up bright and early at 6am to go to see my grandmothers grave. It's a tradition to go put flowers to all the mothers that have passed. It was a very emotional ordeal for me. My maternal grandmother was my first experience I had with death. I was 4 year's old and I remember every detail of the ordeal. I loved her very much and seeing her also meant seeing my grandfathers grave for the first time. I remember the last time I saw him he was sad because my mom and I where leaving to the U.S. Seeing his grave made me very upset. It sucks that I wasn't able to say goodbye to him.



After that, I went back to my aunts and took a nap because... It was time to start my journey to Tijuana. I took a bus to Tepic, and from Tepic to Guadalajara then a taxi to the airport. It was quite draining.

This was my second time on a plane. I was a lot more relaxed this time than my first. The first time I was a mess. Not going to go into details because I'm not very proud of that experience. The flight went well though and I got some nice pictures.












I landed at midnight and unfortunaly my aunt and uncle couldn't pick me up. I was at the airport for 15 hours! I am soo tired. I did managed to take a nap after an old lady told me that I looked tired and that she would watch my stuff. I was too tired to find a flaw in that plan. It was a nice 3 hour nap though. Afterward I  took a taxi to Rosarito.



I wasn't meeting with the guy that was renting the apartment until 5pm so there was more waiting around. However I was waiting around in a shopping center and there was stuff to eat and look at. I wasn't able to go into any of the stores though because I was lugging this around.

Everything I own.
The shopping center was pretty nice and I can't wait to go back and look around at all the little shops. Oh and Walmart.











Then finally 5 O'clock rolled around -yay! I met the landlord and his wife they are very nice people. They drove me to go see the apartment and ...well I loved it! its very nice. Big bathroom and big bedroom.. small kitchen but I don't need a big kitchen when it is just me. So.. Here it is!



When you open the door the kitchen is right there, right away.... not that bad i guess.


Then there is a very small living room space.


Then a big room! with one wall closet and one regular closet.








Big bathroom with hookups for Washer and Dryer.


the view outside the door..that would be the beach.

I get to do Yoga while looking at the beach in the morning! hell yeah!

What I have learned:
... I can't go on 3 hours of sleep in a 48 hour span anymore...
