If I would have known we were going to ride all the way up the mountain in a sand storm I would have prepared myself. I probalbly would not have worn my new white romper but it's cool... I mean no worries that I was covered in orange sand from head to toe. When we finally got to the so called "waterfall" it was nothing but a pond with some cliffs.... our tour guide was like "by the way the waterfall is dried up" I was like..... "was there ever even a waterfall to begin with?" I mean maybe a waterfall did exist, like five hundred years ago! But we weren't mad! We thought it was funny. I mean how could we be upset, we were having an amazing time and it was spring break! There is never room to be disappointed on a vacation.
After we jumped off "cliffs" we couldn't wait to eat some yummy, cheap, authentic Mexican food. We asked our tour guide for recommendations on taco places (I don't know why we did, considering he was totally misleading about the waterfalls) he said "Oh there is a place down the road, I will take you there". Well.... when we got to the restaurant the prices were outrageous and they didn't even have tacos!!!! hahaha we were laughing so hard. We ordered some chips, gucamole and drinks then bounced. To be honest it is the imperfections that make an adventure. Otherwise what stories do you tell when the trip ends? Sometimes you have to let go of expectations and roll with it.
Authentic Mexican Tacos
My post spring break depression is slowly disappearing. I mean it is exsitent but I am trying to adjust back into my everyday life with a postivie attitude. My suit case is sitting in my room, still unpacked. I am in denial that our spring break trip that we anticipated for so long is over.... I guess all good things do come to an end. Looking over my pictures from the trip, the things I miss the most is being with my friends every minute of everyday. There was not a single soul I did not like on our trip. We had such a great group of people and people are what make or break an experience. I miss waking up, going to breakfast, getting ready for the night and planning my day excurssions with the girls I shared a room with. We bonded, like seriously bonded for that week.
To give a little background about our week in paradise, we went on a seven day crusie with Carnival Miracle to the Mexican Riviera. We stopped two days in Puerta Vallarta and one day in Cabo San Lucas. Some people in our group went bungee jumping, zip lining or rock repelling for their day excursions. As for me, I kept it really safe and simple. I am easily pleased, I can be happy anywhere doing anything. I was content lying out on the beach and walking around town. It is the simple things that make me the most happy. One of the highlights of my trip was of course watching the sun set on the beach. It took my breath away and even now, sitting at home on my couch, watching New Girl I still rememeber how amazing it was. I wish I was looking out my window to the beach not looking out my window to my neighborhood in Logan, Utah! Well at least I have pictures for memories!
