Nuevas Adventuras

Hey Chicos!

wow - already October now. I have to start preparing for the second partials! Thats why this month should be a Little bit more relaxed in Terms of travelling on Weekends. BUT this evening at 22:25 you can find me at the Airport welcoming my boyfriend :))) and next Weekend, Cancun is waiting for us!! (I also have to Keep him busy haha). Very excited to see Mexico's beautiful beaches and pyramids, cenotes......

Lets tell and Show you some stuff about last month. We were at the Conexion Beach Festival at the beautiful Playa Mayto. We camped there with 5 People in a tent for (in my eyes) rather 2-3. But well, as Mexico is very cold anyway it is absolutely enjoyable to sleep in there with heat of almost 40 degrees and approx 50 mosquitos. So glad we werent alone..
But honestly, it was even tough a very nice Weekend. Basically it consisted of open bars of tequila everyday, a big pool, the beach right next to us, and some Highlights such as release of Baby turtles and These White paper lantern at night. The last one was my favorite because i always wanted to do it once :) AND they played Coldplay's "Yellow" so there couldnt be a better Moment!

Going a few meters along the beach we found a small Hotel "El Rinconcito" with delicious Pizza (something we dont eat here that often) and soft drinks. Such a lovely place to relax. We even received some greetings by a parrot called Pepe!

Party, Beach, few sleep is the summary of the Weekend. But it was a nice one again and worth it!

The next Weekend trip is my favorite one so far. We went to Guanajuato for the Independence Day (15.09.) and spend the whole Weekend in Gto and San Miguel. This City is SO ADORABLE!!! It has a lot of History and thats why it is the best place to celebrate the Día de la Independencia. But what i love most about it are These narrow streets where every house has a different Color. By the way, Guanajuato is also famous for the colorful City.

Here a face you have after 3 hours of sleep:

As the main Topic of the Weekend was "VIVA MÉXICO!", i decided to buy myself a real, typical Sombrero and posed it proudly after hiking up the 'Pipila', the hike to this amazing view in the first Picture of Guanajuato. I once again recognized I still have potential to improve my Fitness skills. But well i still have two months time :D

San Miguel was rather small in comparison to Guanajuato. As the Organisation of "Integrate", which plans the whole trip for all the students had some delays again, we only had 2 hours there. But for me it was enough to see some parts of it. Guanajuato really got me so it was hard to top it haha!

 (Looks almost like GTO)

The crowd was enormous that Weekend. Everyone was going crazy because of the Independencia, it showed that it is really important to the Mexicans and they celebrate as much as they can. When i wore my Sombrero one day, everyone was greeting me with "Viva México!!". This day I def felt more native, because usually i can see People thinking "she must be european" because of my blond hair..

Fyi: i think the bus Driver really liked the air condition again. We always take a Leggings or hoodie or both with us knowing the bus is going to have antarctic conditions. But aaaasssss i am actually sometimes a bit intelligent i just asked the Driver what perceptions of coolness he has and if it is possible to put the ac down. I went back to my seat and everyone clapped. muhahaha (proud!!).

Last but not least we enjoyed 4 days in La paz and Los Cabos. It is located in Baja California Sur, so just down the way from California/USA until the end of the mainland.

I link it with a very touristic place but nevertheless with beautiful beaches to offer. We started in La Paz (flying there for less than 20 Euro because of vivaaerobus.. thank you for your amazing offers sometimes by the way). And visited on the one day Playa Balandra (NOT touristic). Just b e a u t i f u l.

 You guys have to see our funny taxidriver on the way to the beach. I was sitting in front so i had the Task of talking to him, which i really liked because he was just talking and talking but i only understand half of it. I dont know where he was from but this dialect was not only spanish!!

Please look at this face!! :D i still Need to laugh everytime! Actually he had similarities to my grandpa because of this laugh and Humor maybe a reason i liked him so much. (Miss you Opa!)

In Playa Balandra we started a crazy activity by 'hiking' around the mountain with all our clothes because there was a Special 'stone' (lets call it that way) and you could only reach it by going over Stones and in water - before seeing the kayaks you could also rent.....

THE ONE->

Los Cabos was worse in Terms of Tourism. So many Americans coming over for Weekendvacation. And the Mexican men on the streets every 5 meter want to sell a tour by saying "Hola beautiful senorita what are your plans come over for whaleshark tours" - like this. Some are even more extreme by following you on your way even you say clearly No. But beside of that the beaches were again wonderful. And we de facto bought a tour, but only to the the arch of los Cabos, quite famous, because you only reach it by boat.

I like Relaxing at the beach and looking at mountains and nature around me. This is what we got in Los Cabos.

 

We came back on Monday to GDL and as already said the second partials are starting next week. Even though im unmotivated to study i realise how fast time is going by and that i Need to enjoy every day, at the Weekends but also at University with the other students!

See you soon! Take Care!
