So last month Anthony and I went on a short trip to Mexico City (he was working the flight, I just tagged along) and though he is usually pretty good about chronicling his work trips, for some reason this particular one fell on the wayside. Not that I am insecure or anything, but I do wonder if it has to do with me having gone with him. Anyway, with the crappy weather in London I was inspired to finish posting my pics from Mexico (from back when I went in August) and hopefully this will encourage Anthony to finally post about Mexico.
So after the International AIDS Conference ended, I decided to stay in Mexico for an extra week and hang out with David since this was my first time in the country. Well it turns out that David's family was already planning a weekend to the beach - lucky me! They being the hospitable spics that they are, invited me to come along; and me being cheap and up for anything said yes.
So the family and me (all 10 of us) got up early, prepared some snacks, crammed ourselves into 2 cars and drove the 5 hours to Vera Cruz. Road trip! It was great fun. The weather was perfect, the view was scenic, and it provided the perfect escape that we all needed.
So just to rub it in a little, and because I am sick of the British winter here are some pics from that trip.

El Popo - between Mexico City and Puebla you can catch a glimpse of one of Mexico's most famous volcanoes.
I was in awe of this beautiful misty valley

What would a beach weekend be, without burying someone in the sand?
Ok, yes it was hot, and the water was refreshing, and I can understand seating under an umbrella in the sand...but seating under an umbrella in the water!? - for the record, they were not with us.
David passed out - we did come for some R&R after all.
David trying to work it. He doesn't look half bad for a Mexican.
Even the fish like pork rinds :-)
I think I got a bit too much sun :-) I had forgotten what that felt like
Downtown Vera Cruz is beautiful, full of life and music
And dancing in the streets.
Yeah good times were had :-)
