Day 15: The Adventures of Mexico Continue

There really isn't a day of rest! Maybe one day, but for now, we may be ok with the constant motion!

We arrived home after our movie last night to the AC not working. It hasn't been very reliable and with every storm it just turns off. That made things stressful for us. However, I booked this place two years ago when I was originally planning this trip and spoke to my hostess on and off for two years.

So you can imagine my desire to want this place to work. My devotion to this woman, my connection to her! Well, it didn't work out. In fact the rain water came in, a Mexican party happened next door (kinda like my amigos back home throw parties) there was music made, in people's hands and all around horrible singing. If Gia wasn't with me, it was probably my kind of party! Mix that with the barking guard dogs of the neighborhood, a musty place to sleep, windows that wouldn't close all the way and a very cranky Gia... I was determined to figure things out!

However, it took a push of my dear friend! She reminded me that I can't remain unhappy for another three weeks to be loyal to someone else in an Air BNB situation. The worst case, I lose out on the money, I don't get a refund. The best case- I find somewhere new, somewhere special and I get a partial refund.

So here I am last night into the early hours of today and all morning figuring out our moves, contacting Airbnb and thankfully the stars aligned for us. We found a place for the rest of our trip and actually rented it out for an entire month (better rate and could be between a few places at that time if we want to). We settled with my hostess and air BNB for a refund of the rest of the nights... and on my way out we covid hugged! (I hugged myself and she hugged herself and we just expressed our desires to be happy). She apologized over and over and her last words were this, "I'm so sorry. I own a house on the ocean. If you and Gia want to go with me for a few days while you are here, I'll come get you and take you. A weekend. For free". I nearly cried when she said this. Here I am so sad I have to leave, a bit relieved we are leaving and just emotional... but if I have learned anything...

Goodness and kindness will persevere in most situations.

Thank you to another amazing friend that we made here! Argel who came to pick us up at the mall, grab our things ans settles us into our new location! You are an angel we can not wait for our bee tour next week and another full day of fun (ps- I'm telling all the mommas about you and hope they book some events with you as well)!

We settled into our new place after a LONG day of MALL activities with our single mommas crew! They ladies have been my world for the past 1.5 years! They have filled that deep search for sisterhood that only another single momma can understand and they are an amazing crew with kids who are kind and loving! I see my daughter bonding already and offering up her own money to buy the others things they want. No matter how cheap her momma is... my girl would give you the shirt off her own back or the last dollar in her wallet! When I'm lost in seeing myself in her, today she showed me I'm there!!! Her heart is mostly pure- just not with me. This is hard, but we went shopping, sipped on coffees, ate lunch and swam around on an ice rink! Correction- they did- I tried a few laps and chickened out on horribly never sharpened skates! But my child is ready for HOCKEY!
