Weekend getaway! :D

Went to Trujillo for the weekend. It was great to get out of El Porvenir for a little while!!
It was probably the most beautiful drive I’ve ever been on. I can’t even tell you about it because I lack the words. But trust me when I say that there’s something comforting about being surrounded by palm tree covered mountains and seeing nothing but green in every direction. Gahhh, wish I had some photos, I don’t think that the term ‘breath taking’ would be an exaggeration at all.

We had also seen the pics that Miles & Amelie (the Aussie couple that lives with us) took when they went out there and they were absolutely gorgeous- white sand clear blue water, with star fish and sand-dollars.

The problem is that we we’re in stormy season and along with stormy waters comes big waves and lots of garbage...

We arrived in Trujillo after dark so we didn’t get a chance to witness this little fact before we indulged in happy hour. Sooooo after a couple drinks we thought it would be a good idea to go swimming, in our minds we were on the beautiful beach from the pictures, so when we stepped on stuff and had things brushed up against us in the water we just assumed that it was seaweed and kept swimming. It was a grande ol’ time- until we woke up in the morning and went to the beach and realized that it looked it like an effing landfill. Ughhhh.

Lesson learned, never swim in water you haven’t seen in the light of day.

...I feel dirty.

Filth aside though I such a great time- nearly all the volunteers from El Porvenir came out and I finally got a chance to get some time with the girls from the beach House. I wish I could take off and do it again right about now.
