I arrived to Cancun on Christmas day. I think I was about eight years old when I last spent Christmas in a warm climate, so it sure didn't feel like Christmas! But the lights, nativity scenes, Santas, and yes, even snowmen, told me it was.
That night Guille took me to beautiful restaurant over the sea, Lorenzillos. We ate out on the deck over the water, and after dinner Guille asked me to marry him! The whole thing was almost dreamlike since I was rather sleepy, but I definitely said "sí"!
Next, we headed to Campeche where we are spending time with Guille's family and friends and doing a little site seeing. Don Guillermo and Doña Ilsa, as I call them, happily welcomed me to their beautiful home.
Campechito, as Guille affectionately calls it, is where he grew up. It's a charming city set right on coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Campeche (the city) is the capital of the state Campeche, and just one of the state's many treasures is the Mayan ruins of Edzna that we visited on Monday.
I still have a lot to look forward to on this trip, aside from spending more time with my fiancé! For New Year's Eve, as is custom, we are planning on a formal family dinner at home and then going out with friends. We're going to visit more ruins, such as Chichen Itza. And, of course, we plan to do some relaxing on the beach!
As far as the big day goes...we'll keep you informed!
