How do you like living in the Yucatan, Mexico?
I have lived in the Riviera Maya all my life. I spend a lot of my time on the beach, which is great. We also go to 'cenotes' to swim in here, there are no lakes, but an underground system miles and miles long. Some times the limestone rocks break above the rivers, giving us pools to swim in and that's what a cenote is.
I love my school, all the kids come from all over the world. We have a boy from Holland, some from Argentina, United States, Canada (that's me!) Switzerland, and from all over Mexico - I have one friend from a state called 'Chihuahua' - I still can't believe there is a state named after a dog!
Do you have any Mayan friends?
I have a few, they mainly come from the south of here, in a place called 'Felipe Carillo Puerto'... their families have been here for almost a thousand years, its kind of cool to think of it like that. They still really like to live off the land, I like that, too, because sometimes we get so caught up in buying everything from stores, we forget that we can grow everything right around us!
