Life here is very "tranquilo" as they call it. Everything normally happens manana and that makes the entire day absolutely stress free. A great environment to live (contrary to what my parents are thinking) a

The surf competition

completely normal life.  I personally have been working a lot taking on miscellaneous jobs in various fields. I have even cooked French food for Roberto Cavalli ! No matter what the job is, it is always with fantastic people and that is what makes it a real pleasure. There is no competition, no judgment, no fights and a lot of heat and help from everybody to make you feel welcome.

The place

Everybody is a friend. When walking down the streets, you feel so famous with all the hola, Buenos dias, buenas tardes that you can hear all around you. They are extremely welcoming.
 
As for the landscape; well, I am in the Galapagos National Park.

Galapagos

I can't describe it, you really have to see it to believe it as I do not think it can be imagined. White sandy beach, coconut trees, mangrove trees and the fantastic fauna both on land and in the sea. When going for a run on the beach, you jump around to avoid iguanas and crabs. To refresh after your run, you carefully avoid rays and sharks. No matter where you are, you always swim with cheerful sea lions which comes and play with you. As far as the weather is concerned, needless to talk about that, it is easy to imagine.

The preparations

 
This place simply seems the perfect spot to get married. To answer the numerous questions I had, yes my future husband is a Galapageno and you are all  invited to the wedding : this weekend, on the beach, in the Galapagos islands. I wish you could all be here with me !
