The funniest travel

The funniest travel

When I was in the last year of the university, my classmates and I went to Puebla to visit different places, this has been the most amazing experience because was the funniest travel I’ve ever done. We knew the highest church, saw many animals when we went to African Safari and eat the most delicious Poblana’s food.

This is a travel that y want to do again.   

MINE EL EDEN

Last holidays I went to Zacatecas with my brother and his wife. I went sightseeing saw the church in the downtown and I visited a lot of silversmith´s. But the most incredible was when we visited a mine. First we walked to the hill and then we got on the mine train. We introduced in a dark tunnel and we saw many rocks and minerals in the museum. I discovered that gold and silver in its natural state glow in the dark.

I touched a paunchy miner estatue because the guide tourist said me if I touched it I will have good luck with the money and I threw a coin into a wishing well. Finally we arrived in the surface of the hill and we went to ate in a special restaurant. 

Zacatecas is the coldest place that I have known but would return again!

ALCATEL ONE TOUCH

I sell my cell phone, it is fairly only used for four months. I need to get money because I didn´t pass a exam and my parents don´t want to pay form my mistakes and I have to present a new exam next week. It is in really good conditions and its color you´ll love. 

This is a extremely good deal for young girls who want a cell phone with camera and yu will watch all videos that you want and you can connect to the tv.

It´s a good opportunity for buy something cheapest.

I ♥ Riviera Maya!

I ♥ Riviera Maya!

     Since too many years ago, my friends and I had planned to trip at Riviera Maya. For many reasons we didn’t achieve it… until now!

     May 1^st, I went to Riviera Maya with Veronica and Gina. We stayed in Barceló Resort Hotel. Were wonderful! The landscape is beautiful in the Caribbean; food was delicious; service was incredible… all about this travel was amazing. We enjoyed every minute in the hotel. We swam in the sea, took an aqua aerobics lesson, drank delicious drinks – we tasted every kind on the bar’s menu! – told and laughed a lot, got too much sun, danced in the night club, walked on the beach… All these during 3 days and 2 nights! We had too much fun. So the last day, we almost cried.

     Vero, Gina and I plan go back with more friends. Doubtlessly, this travel was the best of the year.
