Mérida

Back in november I traveled with my classmates to Mérida. It was a nice change of scenery even for just a few short days, but I had a blast between our exhausting days and crazy nights.
We visited Celestun, “a natural paradise” in the words of our guide. We rode boats in the lagoon and were supposed to see flamingos but they were like miles away from us and our boat got stuck when we tried to get closer. Then we spotted some alligators and it was… Well, let me put it like this: You’re in a boat with the boys (5 of them), now picture one of them trying to get a closer look from the edge of the boat and the rest of them joking around and trying to make him fall. Yeah, nerve-wracking and funny all at the same time!! Once we were done there we went back to the hotel and partied all night!The next day we went to Chichen Itzá after having breakfast and trying to get the girls to wake up from their hangover. When we got there it was raining! We were all dying on the inside (not from the rain), but I did enjoyed the view and walk. After that we went to this cenote. I was so excited that I didn’t mind it was raining and still jumped in. I’m an adventurer at heart!! By the end of the day we pulled over in Valladolid to stretch and buy some food before we headed back to the hotel. Back in the hotel some of us partied, went back to the hotel, got scared in our room and went back to partying before thinking about going back into our room. It was so fun!!Finally, the last day we had conferences in the morning, a lunch break and a tour around town in a picturesque bus at night. It wasn’t really interesting, but I had so much fun!
There aren’t a lot of pictures from the trip because I was kind of busy making memories with my friends (or it was raining) but I’m glad I captured some of those moments 🙂

I hadn’t shared the pictures because I thought they were lost, but now they’re found.

Neutrals on the beach

On our trip to Veracruz we went to this beach hoping to get to the dunes and get some sun. None of those happened. It was windy, cloudy and cold, which you can’t actually tell since I took off my jacket and braved the cold for a good cause. Anyway, we need up chilling in the hammocks, eating shrimps and having a toast to celebrate my parents’ 26th anniversary! Good memories were made that day.

My favorite travel buddies! 
By the way, don’t forget to visit my sister’s blog to see her outfit post. We’re totally opposite poles, but I adore her!

All on board

Earlier this month we went on our annual trip to Veracruz, and I say annual because it’s becoming some kind of tradition. Anyway, among all of the things we did this one was a favorite: visiting an old navy boat/museum. You may wonder what’s so special about it, right? Well, I’m not a boats person, but this one was a navy one, so of course I was excited to see what was on the inside, all those guns, bunk beds, showers, everything!Turns out this boat was everything I hoped for and more! They had a dentist office and a very old surgery table, yeah they practiced small procedures in there. They had like a general store, pretty small showers and even a snakes exhibit. According to the guide, who is a retired sailor, there wasn’t enough room for all the 600+ members on board, but they managed.
Some parts of the boat were totally covered by water, which is still safe, but you can’t go beyond unless you wanna take a dive, but that’s not allowed. Besides that I had an amazing time! If someday you’re around and you like museums, go for it!

Spread the word:

Hello there! Lately I’ve been trying to post more often, but inspiration is just not coming my way. Last weekend I got away for a day to a small town in the outskirts of the city and it was just what I needed! Warm weather, clear blue skies and sun baths. 
I am definitely coming back to Valle de Bravo!!
Have a nice Wednesday, friends!

Small town

About a month ago my family and I went on a quick trip to God knows where. It was a pretty small town and on our long way there we passed by some amazing rocks. Do you remember that scene in The Incredibles when Dash runs on water and there are some gigantic and amazing rocks/mountains? Well, they were something like that, but instead of being surrounded by water, they were surrounded by small towns and a two-way highway. I am usually amazed by the beauty of my surroundings (mostly nature) and even though my pictures are awful, I thought I’d share them with you.

Beach days (Part 3)

our hotel was a total surprise for us, there were signs all around with different animal species that lived in the jungle around the hotel. honestly, i though we were never going to see one of the many animals, but god, was i wrong.
there were these tiny animals named coatí, they were really pretty, but they also loved to sneak in the restaurants so there were nets to avoid their unexpected visits.
everyday on our way to breakfast, our room or to the beach we saw lots of these babes, and every single time i was mesmerized by them. another species we saw were monkeys. my brother had told us there was a monkey jumping around the trees and hugging people, and of course my sister and i wanted to meet that monkey! so one day we were walking to the beach and there he was: jumping from tree to tree. my sister and i got close and an employee from the hotel told us that the monkey was very friendly, so we got closer. he just wouldn’t let us see him so as we were about to give up the monkey ran over to my sister, grabbed her by the leg and tried to bite her! it all happened so fast i didn’t know whether to laugh or seek for help.
it all ended up with a sad monkey making signs as he walked away from a french lady and us. it was really fun!

Beach days (Part 2)

so, after we went to akumal we went back to the hotel to take a quick shower and then head over to xplor, a themed water park. dad booked the fire experience for us, it consists on doing all the activities you can do when there’s daylight but at night which is pretty rad.
we got there when it was almost dark, which means no sun (thank god!) because i was super tanned from day 1 and it was mostly empty, also good because that meant no lines. we started with raft swimming, and i must say, my sister and i suck at it, we paddled backwards most of the time and we got a lot of help from a very nice guy who was laughing at us.
then we swam in a river with bats, the water was so cold i thought i was going to freeze. it was all fun until we reached some waterfalls that pulled you down so hard that it was difficult to swim the other way.
after that we went on a ride through the jungle in 4×4 mini cars where we saw fireflies and a few bats. we left the most exciting activity last: zip-lining. it was dark, but you could see park lit up with torches.
it was one of the best experiences and we all had so much fun. we had dinner there and then left to our hotel for a good night of sleep.
