Even though Heinz and I are not big on parties we do like to celebrate special dates in our own special way.
This weekend was our 6-year anniversary and I've got two words for that: time flies.
Last year I shared our beach getaway mini vacation. This year well, we did the same.
We chose a different location. This time we went to La Cocotera.
It's located in Barra de Santiago. It takes about 1h30 to get there if you are driving from San Salvador. It's an ecolodge that even has its own turtle release program.
The resort is small and private making it the perfect place for a couple's getaway.
If you are planning your wedding or just merely fantasizing about that special date I only have one advice for you. Choose a date that is close to a holiday...you will guarantee yourself an off-from-work anniversary your entire life.
Six years ago we got married on January 6 and from that day on, as every new year starts, Heinz and I mark a new beginning in our relationship. Celebrating our anniversary it's not about keeping track of the time we've been together. It's about taking some time to look back asking ourselves where we were this time last year, where do we plan to be next year, what trips do we want to make, etc.
Even though surf and kayaking were offered at no extra cost we decided to chill by the pool ALL DAY LONG. Heinz is currently reading Life of Pi and since I (surprisingly) got a new Kindle for Christmas we both kept our noses buried under exquisite literature. I am currently reading two books, one is The Great Gatsby because the movie is coming out and I cannot let myself watch the movie before reading the book and I am also reading Murakami's 1Q84 which for me has been a page turner and I mean this literally because its a paperback edition (a non traveler friendly one)
Talking about books...how would you feel about an IMakeMyself book club? would anyone sign up? Let me know because I'm really contemplating this idea.
This date marks another special day for me. This weekend was my first blogging anniversary! It's been a whole year since I started sharing my story through IMakeMyself and to all of you who keep coming back...thank you.
Thank you for being part of this 6 + 1 celebration.
