What do you do when you have a back pocket full of cactus? Don't sit down! And that's exactly what I'm going to try to do. Metaphorically. So obviously being at the computer is most likely sitting down (and I know cactus should be cacti but I just like the word cactus better) but in this case I just mean I'm not going to be lazy. When I'm not blogging I'm going to get off my butt and make/do stuff to blog about. So I hope you enjoy all of my posts! You're my motivation!

Gettin' Back On Track: Past due post from my Mexico trip

 So, I been back in Cali for 2 weeks now, which was how long I was in Mexico, so I know this post is very, very late. Sorry guys :/ But I'm happy to say I got some nice pictures to share hopefully to make up for that. :)

I loved taking pictures of the streets and architecture. The contrast between the colorful buildings and bright blue sky never failed to amaze me.




 One thing I could definitely get used to in Mexico was the streets and authentic bright and colorful yet simple buildings. I brought this inspiration home with me so hopefully I can somehow replicate it in my bedroom. #future post :)





Old city hall.


Botas galore.



I see mountains here at home but it was different seeing them covered in cactus rather than bushes and 
trees.





This was definitely the most amazing sight during my trip. El Cristo Roto. "The Broken Christ". He stands 82 feet tall which is shorter than the Statue of Liberty, but I was instantly more amazed when I saw this.



The view from where we took a small boat to the island where El Cristo Roto was placed.

There is so much more I could share like the food I ate but hardly have pictures of because I ate it too fast before I remembered to take a picture. Lol. Or the amazing churches and stories behind them. And of course the family I met while out there was the best part. Even though there was a language barrier between some of us I was so thankful for how welcoming they were and for the motivation boost to really learn spanish. For reals. :)


So toast to my first trip abroad. Can't wait 'til the next one :)
