When my friend Megan asked me if I would like to go on an all expenses paid trip to Cancun, Mexico with her I literally laughed in her face. I was sure she was totally joking. Turns out, she was totally serious. A couple weeks ago our adventure finally arrived and we were on a plane to the beautiful beaches of South Eastern Mexico. I never dreamed I would actually go to a place like this. I had accepted the fact that I would probably only admire such places while watching movies or flipping through cheap calendars at book stores.
The first time we walked onto the beach, I was amazed at how soft the sand was. It was like powder, a piece of Heaven making it’s way between my neatly pedicured toes. To say that the water was warm, is an understatement. It was perfect and clear as glass. The evenings flaunted beautiful sunsets that left the floating clouds looking like something out of a pixar movie. Everything was perfect. Better than I could have imaged, and now that I’ve been there and done that, I don’t have to imagine what it would look like or feel like anymore because I actually know.
I can’t thank Megan enough for asking me to go with her. I guess I should also thank her husband for letting me take his spot. I will never forget this experience or the meaningful, deep, and entertaining conversations we had while looking at the stars. You are a dear friend and I love you inside and out.
Here are some photos from our trip that I wanted to share with the rest of you. I hope to one day return to this paradise and feel the soft white sand between my toes one more time.
