Back in Norman.

My last few days in Colima were fantastic. I finally got to go to Tecoman and hang out at the beach. I had been wanting to go since I got to Mexico and Michel and Emgidio finally took me. Along the way, we saw some friends of Michel's pulled over on the side of the road. Their car had broken down, so they hopped in the car with their kite surfing gear and headed to Tecoman with us. We dropped them off at the laguna and went to have lunch. I had a shrimp cocktail with tomato, jalapeno, onion, lime and salt. Absolutely divine accompanied by a Victoria cerveza. Victoria is only sold in Mexico, so you must cherish it while you can. After multiple hours of sitting in the middle of the laguna, we headed back for Colima. On the way out, we stopped on the side of the road for a cold coconut. They hack it open with a machete and stick a straw in it for you. Then, when all of the coco milk is gone, they hack it in half and scrape out all of the flesh. They put it in a bag with chili, lime and salt. Divino.

Later that night, we went to eat with Dania's family at PizzaKoket. Mexican pizza has never been my favorite, but these weren't bad. Afterwards, Dania's mom dropped us off at Los Maderos where several friends were having drinks. I didn't really know many, so I had Emigdio pick me up and take me with him :) We went to his friends house for drinks and then out to the Capacha for some ridiculous Quincenera. We finally made it out to his friend's rice exporting plant where a DJ set up and played all night long. It was way fun and a great despedida from my friends.

On Sunday, Carlos Arzate and I went for nadadoras, again. I am near obsessed with the panela. I am going to try to make them here, but we will see. I even brought the chilis from mexico that I need to make them. I spent the rest of the day descansando with Emigdio and Cao. We ordered sushi and watched a movie. After that, I went for my final Paletas de la Villa. I ate two; one mango and the other nuez. Finally, Boris, Chicho, Mariana, Michel, Nayeli, Emgidio, Fer and I went to eat tacos and say our goodbyes. :( I always miss my friends dearly and they nor I understand why I don't live there. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I can graduate from grad school and make it down there. I know if I don't do it, I will regret it horribly. I am almost positive I have more friends in Colima than I do here in Norman. Its pretty crazy.
