I'm in Mexico!!!

'When you go in, go all in'.

Sorry I haven't been writing much lately, but it's because right now i'm in.........Mexico! Here there are so many things to see - it's just so hard to get to everything! Cancun, which is a city in Mexico, is amazing, and there is tons of amazing food there just waiting to be eaten! I am enjoying my times here very much, and, since in school we are learning spanish, I am able to speak to the people here a little bit. To me Mexico is like a tropical paradise, where there are tons of birds, beautiful trees, and so much more!

          Okay, so I know that on my last post I said that I would be writing about many different organizations that help to protect our vast oceans. Well the problem is that I had all of my research saved on my computer back in Asheville, North Carolina, where I live. And so now I am in Mexico, without my computer, and therefore sadly do not have my research with me either (but I will definitely write about the organizations soon!). But, I  realized something from a magazine about a magazine that I should of noticed much sooner, and that many people are oblivious to. So i'm deciding to share that, instead.......

Me and my parents were flying out of the Atlanta airport a few days ago, when things went astray:

We had boarded our plane that would take us straight to Cancun, where we would then take a car to Playa Del Carmen. We were [going to be] flying on Delta Airlines, but a mechanical problem with the plane (while we were still on it) stopped us from going anywhere. So we waited, and waited, and waited - we waited for 3 hours, just stuck, (because we weren't allowed to get off) sitting on the plane! That was longer than our flight was supposed to take! Eventually we all exited the plane, and to all our dismays, where going to leave the airport........until their was an announcement over the loud speaker that they had found another plane! Everyone was so happy and much relieved, and we then boarded a plane for the second time.

Once we were all on the plane, flight attendants came down the isle with trays of hamburgers that were FREE! Since I'm a pescatarian, which means that I don't eat meat, I didn't join in on this amazing act by Delta Airlines.

So then we were off, into the air and later landed in Mexico! So far our stay has been stupendous, and I'm not sure I want to ever leave!
