escapism.

today was one of those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days.

i mean, nothing traumatic happened or anything.

buuut just lots of little annoying things that irked an already burned-out anna (it's that time of the semester...)

so i just sat in class, dreaming of escaping.

today, this escapism brought me back to mexico. 

cozumel, to be exact. 

over winter break, we spent one afternoon on the island.

while my mom and little brother were off snorkeling,

we decided to have an adventure of our own.

will, my dad, & i rented a beat-up jeep,

and spent the afternoon cruising around the island

(some of the footage seen here!).

we stopped at various scenic spots, 

played in the water a bit,

and stopped at this awesome, rastafarian, beach-side restaurant for chips and salsa.

what's better then bob marley and chips and salsa on the beach in mexico?

we found the funniest nfl luchador masks,

made a new amigo (in the form of a darling nine-year-old waiter),

and soaked up the sun.

life was good in cozumel.

anyone want to escape there with me?
