Spring break

Acabamos de regresar de nuestras vacaciones de Semana Santa, unas de las mejores de en mucho tiempo. Aunque he de admitir que antes de irnos pensé que ir a Acapulco en estas fechas no era muy buena idea, pero como íbamos a ir con Tomás, mi cuñado; su esposa y su hija, a un depa frente al mar, pensamos que a las niñas les encantaría estar en la playa y ver a su prima que no veían desde el año pasado.

El caso es que el viaje superó con mucho las expectativas. Por primera vez en años, fueron unas vacaciones en todo el sentido de la palabra. Relax total. No tuve que preocuparme de las comidas, ni por buscarles actividades a las niñas o jugar con ellas. Se la pasaron jugando en la alberca o en la playa y yo pude leer y leer y leer. No teníamos acceso a Internet, así que estuve leyendo material impreso. Estuve hojeando revistas, leyendo el periódico y lo mejor es que pude leer dos novelas.

We just came back from our Spring Break vacation. It was one of the best vacations I´ve ever had. I have to admit though that I thought that going to Acapulco for spring break was the craziest idea ever. But since we were going with Tomas, Diego´s youngest brother; his wife; and his daughter, to an apartment by the beach, we thought that the girls would be happy to spend some time with their cousin that they hadn´t seen in a year.

Well, the girls had a blast. And, for the first time in ages, I had a relaxing time. I didn´t have to worry about meals, or about the girls -because they were having fun at the beach and in the pool. And all I did was read, read and read. We didn´t have access to Internet, but that was good in a way. I got to browse some magazines, read the newspaper and even though I suffered withdrawal syndrome the first two days, it was gone after I found a book to read. Actually, I read two books. That was the best part.
