We aka Talia drove all night. Got there, took a mini nap, and saw the sunrise. The next day we went to the beach and enjoyed the sunshine. At night, we went dancing. The next day, we rested and went to the beach for a little bit, and then drove back. That's the bland summary of our trip.
Here's the good stuff:
On the way there we listened to a crazy CRAZY variety of music, ate cold chicken stuffed rolls because we were THAT hungry, and also stuffed our faces with puppy chow. Who knew puppy chow could get EVERYWHERE, huh Becca? It's like ninja chocolate.
We stopped at several gas stations with very specific purposes lol.
"My hand is a dolphin!" "Double dolphin hands!"
We experienced a traffic jam at 2 in the morning in a small town due to a train.
During this traffic jam, we were creeped on by a truck driver. Panic.
Reckless driving, yes, there was some. But it was wreckless driving as well, so now it's funny. Well we did get pulled over once. Thankfully it wasn't while we were sticking our feet out the window, or taking "sleeping" pictures, or simultaneously tweeting about the same events, or filming the passing cars' reactions to our signs.
We sang "My heart will go on" a capella, upon seeing the ocean.
Throughout the trip we took "creeper pictures" where we'd sneak into each others' pictures and look really creepy. Here's a prime example. Notice my well-aware eyeball, a-creepin.

Got to the beach and the sunrise was AMAAZING.
Walked back from the beach and relaxed at the hotel, some of us slept, some of us blubbered crying over the computer, aka me lol "iiimmmm sooo happpyyyyy ahhbuhuhuhuhuuuuh"The beach was HOT. I'm talking sand-burning-our-feet hot. An understated fact about sand: it gets EVERYWHERE and it NEVER leaves.
Also, there is no 'i' in sand, but there was definitely sand in my eye.

We ate turtle cheesecake and spaghetti right on the beach. Everybody was jealous because we brought real food.
I was in dire need of my tissue box, as my sinusitis was in full swing. I had a tissue up my nose pretty much 98% of the time. It was comical, but also horrible and disgusting. Take your personal pick, it depends how comfortable you are with mucus.
Becca and I wore no sunscreen :(
I was approached by a group of hispanic girls, speaking Spanish to me asking to take a picture. So I did :) got to tell them I'm from Brazil. I must have been really tan at the time haha
Low-flying angry seagulls were roaming the region. Why don't they have a movie about THIS?
I tried boogie boarding but the waves were teeny tiny lil baby waves. Pshh. I need some riproaring ones to carry this. *points to self*
We got caramel all over the sheet we were laying on. We were all a hot mess.
Got back to the hotel, got sand EVERYWHERE.
I took out the curtain rod with one swoop. It was a HUGE noise, everybody started laughing, I open the door and this picture got snapped.
haha I'm too strong sometimes. I need to hold back the strength in these powerful little hands.
We went out looking for a place to dance. Drove around a bit, walked, drove some more, walked. Heard some beats, went into Sunset. AS SOON AS we walked in, they stopped playing "cool" music and began playing songs in the genre of "Love is a battlefield"... which meant we were at the wrong place. I asked our waiter where people say age 24-25 would go to dance, as opposed to people our parents' age? He laughed so hard. We were then redirected to a place called Louie's.

We were then redirected to a place called Louie's.Upon arriving at said club, we corralled and inspected for guns (I wish I was kidding) then proceeded up some wooden stairs to the sound of "Calabresa" now we're talking :) To our dismay, we were a very strange minority, being caucasian, heterosexual, and sober. It was intimidating. We proceeded to dance/laugh/dance/laugh in that sequence. When the wobble came on, nobody knew the dance! Talia and I pioneered as fearless leaders in teaching this club population the dance. Bless their hearts, it was precious. I had a small Asian man high-five me at the end of the song, "tank yoo!" he said.
After wobbling, we were ready to go home. We went downstairs and watched some Colombians scream-sing karaoke songs about their corazons. We walked back to the car, well Talia kind of hobbled.
Our parking luck at the hotel was out, and we had to park all the way around and walk the perimeter of the hotel on a tiny sidewalk. There was a palm tree that covered the sidewalk, and Talia exclaimed "we have to go through this palm tree!" yes!
We arrive home and I was soaked to the bone in sweat. Turns out that I sweat at least 50x more when I'm sunburned. FACT.
The next day, Sunday morning... best quote of the morning was definitely "don't get chocolate on the Bible!!" :)
As a closer, I'd like to say I had an amazing time!! I love you girls!!
And here's my accidental creeper portrait. I think by far it's the funniest thing I've ever done in my life, and not on purpose.
