POST 3: A day to remember.

I’ll always remember that day and wish to relive it. In February, 2019, I travelled to Brazil with one of my best friends from college. We went to take a Seminar about “Lume theater” and stayed there for a while after the course was over, and then we went to this Island called “Ilha Grande '' in Rio. 

I remember it was a wonderful day and we boarded early in the morning. There was a boat that took us there and on the way the person in charge gave us a tour of the marvelous beaches on the way to the Island. We were all day going from beach to beach along the ocean in that little boat, and there was a splendid sun perfect to travel. Important fact, I never really liked to bathe on the ocean, I’ve always been kind of scared of it but that day I did it, I actually did things I never dared before. We bathed in the middle of that blue ocean and swam deep along the fish and octopuses, it was a really unforgettable experience. We also swam in these greeny and bluish crystalline waters, everything was wonderful and marvelous. We crossed from one island  to another just swimming in those warm waters, it was exhausting!  I really swam like never before! 

I remember floating on my back looking at the sky for more than 20 minutes, and just remembering that gives me a lot of peace, so I try to imagine the stressful moments. It was a great day with my friend, just wonderful. We got sunburned and as we say here in Chile ”got red like a lobster” but besides that we didn´t regret anything, we enjoyed every single moment together and we treasure that memory as the last trip before the pandemic. I think that memory is a mental escape from what  happened in our lives then, the isolation and everything. Without doubt I would love to go back there, feel that calm body and soul.

PS: I leave here this lucky post so you’ll never forget to travel <3
