Entry 10. Memories.

As the year is almost over, I would like to take a moment and share some of the most memoriable moments. My family and I really enjoy to travel so this year we decided to take a trip to Cancun, Mexico during the summer. We had already been there befor but it had been about 6 years ago.

For our trip we decided to driving so we can meet all the beautiful cities through out the way. the whole drive took about 6 days because we stopped in so many different places, Our first stop was in Zacatecas, Mexico. We lasted the whole day there, exploring and learning of the history of that state. That was one of my favorite places in the trip because the city itself was so beautiful and had lots of interesting places to go see. Hopefully I get a change to go there again and stay longer.

After driving the whole night and most of the day we arrived in Mexico City and we had a chance to visit the famous Basilica of the Virgin Mary. We also decide to spend the night and visit some other places while we were there. Last time we went to Cancun I had had a chance to visit the Basilica but we made a quick stop and I was glad that we had a chance to meet more historical places.

After a wonderful stay in Mexico City we continued our journey through Mexico. After driving for a whole day and a whole night we finally arrived to Chiapas, Mexico early the next morning where we visited this beautiful waterfall named Las Cascadas De Agua Azul. I had already been there previously in my past trip to Cancun but it had been so long. We ate breakfast there and after that we went to go check in  in our five star hotel. I really enjoyed staying at the hotel because it was really tiring sleeping on the charter bus for 24 hours, it felt nice sleeping in an actually bed after two days. The only thing I don't like about Chiapas is the weather because it's EXTREMELY humid. I'm use to the dry heat and I honestly felt like I was going to die. All i wanted to do was stay in the hotel with the A/C on, but I would definitely go again.

The next day we were off on the rode again but they took us to Palenque, Mexico. Palenque is about 3 hours from Chiapas on our way to Cancun and it was going to be the last big stop before we finally got to Cancun. Palenque is a touristic place in Mexico because theres pyramids and historical tunnels of the Mayas. I had also been there before but it's absolutely one of my favorite places because the it's just so amazing how there's pyramids in the middle of the jungle. It's so beautiful and there's so much to learn, especially if you rent a tour guide to explain the story of the Mayans and how they built all sort of things. The weather is extremely humid but it's just too pretty to not go.

After the last stop at Palenque we drove the rest of the day and the whole night. I was so anxious to get for Cancun, I was so tired of sleeping on a bus for about 4 days. Once we finally arrived I was so happy. I felt like I was literally spending the next week of my life in paradise. There was so much to do and watch, there was a total of four buffets in the hotel and a sea food restaurant, there was open bar all day and there was a snack bar all day with hotdogs, hamburgers and nachos and it was all including in the package!

I honestly had a blast in Cancun, we went snorkeling and there were beautiful fishes of all sorts of colors. We also went to go visit other beaches close by and we went to an island called Islas Mujers. It was so much fun and I'm glad I had a chance to spend that vacation with my family.

After we spent a marvelous week in paradise it was sadly time to go back home but first we decide to go to Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza is one of the seven wonders of the world. It has a weird name because it's named by the aztecs. I really enjoyed going to Chichen Itza because it also has a lot of history and it is very different to the ones from the mayas so you definitely learn a lot of new things.

I absolutely loved my vacation and I can't wait to go on a cruise next year!
