Cancun is for BFFs! Part Uno

Last week I was in Cancun: land of sunshine, corona, thiefs, and speedos.

I've decided to do a day-by-day posting system and I was only there for 4 days whole days plus half-Sunday and half-Friday, so just bear with me. This won't kill you.

First let me introduce you to my three partners in crime:

First is Melanie, a new and welcome addition to our crew. Mel is one of my favorite Bostonians, hands down. I knew we were going to have some extra space in our little villa, so I invited her along because I knew she would bring the party and this girl did NOT disappoint. Look at her smiling like a fool in that hat! What a babe.

Sarah: girl with the booty. She was shakin it everywhere we went. This chica SURVIVED the trip. We were a little worried that she would be eaten by Mexicans, but I took it upon myself to be her personal bodyguard and she came out in one piece. I think...

And there's our little Rach Face. How can you not just love that face? Seriously? This girl did a great job documenting the trip, getting weird tan lines/burns/burning bubbles of death, and wearing her braces like a star. Our tour guide even gave her a shout out because she is a brace face! Yeah baby.

Who is this crazy? I think she's been on here before. This girl succesfully got burned in some small way every day. Way to go, lame-o.

So now you have the intro. Here is what we did on Monday:

Of course there had to be some sort of a photo shoot BEFORE we did anything. I think I might've felt a little ornery about that, but in retrospect I am glad we did it. I just wanted to lay down on my beach chair and pass out.

Classic. Love it.

Reunited at last! Be honest, we kinda look like the Fantanas.

Me and the jolly brown giant. Is that mean?


I love this picture of both girls. Monday afternoon we were so BURNIN hot that Mel and I decided to order some drinks that were delivered right to our little beach chairs. Sarah and Rach followed suit. Trend-setters we are. I can't resist a good pina colada. And yes, it was virgin.


Aren't I a babe without the makeup? This is at Walmart. We bought tons of food for literally nothing. Mangoes were 30 cents a piece, a bag of fresh tortillas were like 50 cents, and avocados were dirt cheap, too. We mostly bought a lot of exxxxcellent produce. Heaven.

Is that a papaya, Mel? I think it is... We made dinner back at our villa on Monday. Aaaaaamazing. Seriously, your mouth should be watering. We had such a good time cooking together and I just loved watching the Bachelorette while we cooked and while we ate. Ali is such an awesome person-- I hope to be like her someday. Sarcasm?

Sarah has been a carnivore since day 1. She used to have a special relationship with Chunky's Fajita Chicken soup. I think maybe she severed ties, though.

This mango salsa was incredible. SERIOUSLY. You need to make this. Here are the ingredients:

1 mango, 1/2 red onion, lime juice, cilantro, 1 tomato, 1-2 cloves of garlic, salt and pepper

You will be in heaven if you try this stuff. No joke. Srsly.

Ohmigosh fer cute. Look at that spread! We even had papaya and pineapple, too. Delicious. (Actually the papaya was kind of nasty... kind of... but we tried it)

So that was day 1. It was a good day, but the fun was just starting.
