Time Away From Home: Mexico
Can you believe it? It's almost the end of 2013! It's honestly been a great year - full of small changes, and big life milestones. In 2014, I'm going to try to write more because it will help me be more honest with my feelings and thoughts. It has fallen at the wayside a bit..but I'm going to make more of a conscious effort to blog.
For me, it's very easy to get caught up in a routine. It's comfortable, and also easy to go through motions without really putting effort to think about
why
we do what we do. So I had the chance to take a mini vacation, and it really helped me to step back from the day to day. The time away from home allowed me to get in touch with nature but also gave me the opportunity to think and reflect.
Anyways, a photo is worth a thousand words...so I'll let them do the talking here. Here are some photos from Mexico, taken courtesy of my lovely iPhone.
En route to Mexico and away from New York City.
Arrived at our hotel and loving this design.
My favorite part of the trip: dipping my toes into this refreshing + crisp water.
Sunset on the beach. If passion had a face, it would look a lot like this.
A visit to a Mayan Ruin. It felt like I entered a time from the past.
"If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?"
I tried to imagine what it could be like to live 300 BC. How different life would be back then.
I'm actually quite afraid of swimming in water. But I felt such a fascination for it on this trip. Can you feel fear and fascination at the very same time?
