I got lost in Costa Esmeralda...

                                                                    

I have to confess...I made myself go to the beach this weekend and remembered why I liked it! I guess sometimes you just need a small break away from everything and this one was so much fun and so worth me not eating as well for at least a week :O

                                                               

                                                                   

So the place is called Playa Costa Esmeralda in the state of Veracruz here in Mexico. I actually have to confess that I fell asleep and missed my stop and was left at a small town called Gutierrez Zamora, like 40 minutess to the north, and ended up staying there for the night! At first it was quite scary knowing I had no idea where I was, but ended up being fun because I explored a little more, and learned that I can handle myself in strange-difficult-challenging situation. I actually didn't freak out as much, because I kept saying to myself "you're still in Mexico..they speak Spanish and so do you, so relax!" and I did.

The Hotel we stayed at (we because my friend Wendii was there to!) is called Taboga, and it is very comfy, very pretty, extremely relaxing, and the staff is very cool, and the food (and drinks) are awesome!! The beach was clean, pretty, well kept and not crowded at all. Although I was told that it was because of the season, apparently its not high season for vacations yet which worked to our advantage just because we got the room for 50% off and student discounts on the transportation :)

...now what do you put on after a sun burn?! ;)
