I still remember the day I went with my family to the beach, we went to Santa Marta for vacations, there we wanted to camp but it was not possible, we were counting on finding a cheap hotel nearby the beach but we didn’t find any, so we slept in some tents we had and some people slept in the cars, it was pretty uncomfortable, it was raining and it was cold and the night was not good at all. The next day I got lost with my cousins on the beach, my cousin told us to go to the beach in the other part of the mountain by boardering the mountain itself, we did it, we were walking around the boarder of the mountain and the beach, the first part was easy but later it got complicated, there were sharp stones and the water was high, some of us were barefoot and almost at a moment got drown, it was scary, but we were in the middle of the mountain to get to the other side and it was getting dark….
