Kes' Take on Veracruz

not feeling too hot today...i think i caught a cold. we missed the only day bus to oaxaca this morning...had a sleepless night due to some sort of bugs that bit us all night...so didn´t get up very early...so now we are staying closer to the bus station...and will be up and early tom. am to catch the day bus to oaxaca...there is a night bus but we decieded it is too dangerous to travel at night...or rather riskier...than day. veracruz is super sweaty...very tropical. you take a shower and instant sweat when you step out of the water...but the smell of salt, dirt, and fish is very strong...this is not our favorite so far...i think mostly due to scruffy/dingy not cheap hotels. there are not a lot of foreigners here, it is mostly a mexican vacation destination, so we get stared at a lot. and people seem to be ruder here than in mexico city...saying things at us in spanish about being white and what not....looking forward to oaxaca as a change of scenery and people...might do a couple day stint of staying in a remote village as a ecoturism package...not sure yet?
missing you guys...love kesia and dustin
