Celebrating!

I just came back from Cuba and now that I have more free time I was in the way to post when I realized that I haven written since the 11th of may, shit… 2 week off… as always I don’t want take even a week off but urgent things take control of me… hahaha…

I will start writing what I’ve been doing since the 11th…

As you read along the lines of the last post, I had a dinner with the alumnae (graduates) and our closed family, I mean, we had 4 chairs; mom, sister, bertha and me… few hours before we had a mass cuz is common in Mexico have it in order to thank God for the ending of our studies… anyway after the mass we took pics, you know, with the family and friend and other graduates then Almita, Paúl, Raúl and me went to a coffee shop closed to the cathedral we drank a beer to start with the celebration :D… unfortunately Raúl forgot the keys of his car so I were a bit delayed to the dinner, but wasn’t a problem, finally were there.

During the dinner we were so happy cause it was very nice cuz many people were there congratulating us and taking pictures with us. I was in charge of the speech of my major. I think it was quite concrete and I feel that I say exactly what I wanted to say. After that, we had the dinner and it finished around 12 am cuz the degree delivery was the day after in the morning.

The solemn ceremony took place in the main theater of the city. There were a lot of important people from the institute and one of the most important business people was in charge of the speech for the graduates. I got my degree and then we took pics and stuff… after this I had luch with my family in a restaurant, I slept during the afternoon to recover energies and start the weekend celebration.

During the evening I went to a party organized by a group of graduated, it was in the garden pretty nice, we danced and drank whisky and beer, it was funny and I really enjoy it but I couldn’t stay a long time cuz we had plans to camp at the bech the day after.

In the morning of Saturday, we agreed to meet us in Violetas’ house to depart to Altata, this beach that I’ve mentioned lots of times before. The first stop was in El Tambor, a beach near Altata, but with no houses, only the open beach not a bay. We made a kind of photo session directed by Adolfo, a friend, who loves photography. The session was great; there are lot of pictures in facebook, but in my friends profiles… I will try to get all of them to have them with me. Just after this we went to Altata and we started to make up the camping and stuff, we spent the whole night having fun, drinking some beers and eating, the day after Cynthia was celebrating her graduation with a big party, we were very tired cuz you as you might guess we didn’t sleep enough but anyway we were there and we danced the whole night… lol… :D…

… to be continue… with Cuban Trip...

Vacation at the Beach


The holydays are over and is time to continue with the last part of my so called student life. But let my relate you what I did this weekend.

The gang (some friends) were, since Wednesday and Thursday in El Tetuán Viejo… please don’t think that I’m talking about the city in the north of Morocco, believe me that would be much more interesting. Well, this beach is a swamp , … damn I don’t if I’m using the correct term for this, help me!... but your know it doesn’t have waves and the water is soother; ...Yes, I left my home this Saturday around 5 pm by my car, the journey took me around 40 minutes we have a 2 lanes motorway so the traffic is not like it used to be before.

I got there around 6 pm and I called one friend who told me about the broken car in which they were moving around so my car was very useful. After that we when to Omar’s home cuz they wanted to start getting ready to go out, finally we decided to spend the whole night in Altlata (the old one) therefore we met in el Cheto’s house (another friend that has a house in old Altata) and we drove along the main road where many people make street party, this means, they use to play music loudly or with live group playing and singing ‘banda’ and of course people dancing on the road and a lot of these four-wheel-motorcycle.

When we were fed up of being there we made a bonfire and we chatted and drank some beers until the sunrise, we came to El Tetún again to sleep for few hours because I was asked to take my friend to the place where we left the car, this was about midday on Sunday, then we waited until the breakdown van came and took the car to Culiacán. Just after that, we wanted to eat so we went to old Altata and I ate a great ‘Coctel de Camarón’, this is shrimp in its own stock with cucumber, onion and sometime tomato, served cold in a glass like this one on the left; I love this when I get hangover… yes I got some :p…

Finally we came back, I took my friends with my car…

By the way, Altata is well know for having one of the Best Sunset of the World… damn… they are really astonish… look at the pics … wow… and also, there is a New Altata and is a great project where they have house on sale and is very modern, check out the webpage http://www.nuevoaltata.net/e/index.html and the map to locate Altata is here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=es&geocode=&q=altata+sinaloa&sll=24.824135,-107.431909&sspn=0.009932,0.019956&ie=UTF8&ll=24.612063,-107.329559&spn=0.636745,1.277161&t=h&z=10
