Voy por el cuarto día de mi viaje por las playas cercanas a Río Caribe. Hoy mi hija y yo vamos a conocer playa Medina. Con nuestras mochilas y bajo un día soleado salimos temprano para tomar el transporte en la parada. Nos montamos y el chofer nos dejó en la entrada de un pueblo donde estaba una estación de moto taxis, el único transporte que nos iba a llevar a la playa, al menos que uno tenga su carro.
We rode, I on one motorcycle and my daughter on another, I was afraid to ride and I had only ridden on my brother's motorcycle when I was very young, but my daughter told me: “you have no choice because it is the only way to take us” and I got on, but an oversight at the moment of starting the motorcycle, the strong smoke pink my leg and made me a tremendous burn and an annoying pain, but despite that we continued our journey until we reached the beach which by the way was well hidden. Then they left and we agreed that they would come to pick us up to return in the afternoon.
Nos montamos, yo en una moto y mi hija en otra, me daba miedo montarme y sólo me había montado en la moto de mi hermano cuando era muy joven, pero mi hija me dijo: “no te queda de otra porque es lo único que hay para llevarnos” y me monté pero un descuido en el momento de ponerse en marcha la moto, el fuerte humo rosó mi pierna y me hizo tremenda quemadura y un dolor molesto, pero a pesar de eso seguimos nuestro viaje hasta llegar a la playa que por cierto estaba bien escondida. Después ellos se fueron y cuadramos que venían a buscarnos para regresar en horas de la tarde.
What a spectacular beach! Surrounded by large palm trees with coconuts, rocky mountains, little cabins to stay in, kiosks on the sand, several food stalls and a huge parking lot under the palm trees. A heavenly place!
¡Qué playa tan espectacular! Rodeada de grandes palmeras con cocos, montañas rocosas, cabañitas para hospedarse, kioscos en la arena, varios puestos de comida y un enorme estacionamiento bajo las palmeras. ¡Un lugar paradisíaco!
That day there were few people because it was low season. We left our backpacks in an old boat that was under the shade, the sea was quite calm and the moment I set foot a chill went through my entire body through its strange frozen waters. At first, where I had the burn I felt a relief, my daughter came in and told me that she didn't find it so cold.
Ese día hubo poca gente porque era temporada baja. Dejamos las mochilas en un bote viejo que estaba debajo de la sombra, el mar estaba bastante tranquilo y en el momento de poner los pies un escalofrío pasó por todo mi cuerpo por sus extrañas aguas congeladas. Al principio, donde tenía la quemadura sentí un alivio, mi hija entró y me dijo que no le pareció tan fría.
As I quickly got small blisters where I was burned, at first, the salty water made me burn a lot but little by little I entered. Only when leaving should not expose the leg much to the sun because the burning would be greater. Despite that we had a great time, we walked on the sand, we saw crabs lifting pebbles and small fish on the shore and we took the opportunity to take photos of the place.
Como me salieron rápido pequeñas ampollas ahí donde me quemé, al principio, el agua salada hacía que me ardiera mucho pero poco a poco entré. Solo al salir no debía exponer la pierna mucho al sol porque el ardor sería mayor. A pesar de eso la pasamos muy bien, caminamos por la arena, vimos cangrejos levantando piedritas y peces chiquitos en la orilla y aprovechamos para tomar fotos del lugar.
At lunchtime we bought some dogfish empanadas from an old lady who made them, they were so tasty and with abundant filling that I never forget. After lunch another old lady called Eulogia passed by, famous here for her delicious and irresistible coconut sweets and we bought to eat there and also to take away.
A la hora del almuerzo compramos unas empanadas de cazón a una viejita que las hacía, eran tan sabrosas y con abundante relleno que nunca olvido. Después del almuerzo pasó otra viejita llamada Eulogia, famosa aquí por sus riquísimos e irresistibles dulces de coco y nosotras le compramos para comer allí y también para llevar.
We are already trapped by beauty and harmony, without a doubt a wonderful place, free from noise for those who love tranquility and want to connect with nature and be inspired to write a book, and also eat a fish fresh from the sea. We wanted to stay longer but the guys from the moto taxi arrived and we had to go because the way back was almost 40 minutes by motorcycle and quite a few climbs and curves.
Ya quedamos atrapadas por la belleza y la armonía, sin duda alguna un lugar maravilloso, libre de ruidos para los que aman la tranquilidad y quieren conectarse con la naturaleza e inspirarse a escribir un libro, y también comer un pescado recién sacado del mar. Queríamos quedarnos más pero llegaron los muchachos del moto taxi y nos teníamos que ir porque el camino de regreso eran casi 40 minutos en moto y bastantes subidas y curvas.
We left Medina Beach and arrived at the exit of this town. Here we wait a while for the transport to pass to return. After a while it arrived, we got on and we got to Río Caribe. My daughter went to the inn and I went to find a pharmacy to buy a remedy for the burn. I bought a cream that the pharmacist recommended to me and when I got to the inn I put it on the burn and I began to feel a great relief. I tell you that I continued with that cream for a while until it managed to make the burn disappear completely without leaving any mark.
Nos fuimos de playa Medina y llegamos a la salida de este pueblo. Aquí esperamos un rato a que pasara el transporte para regresar. Al rato llegó, nos montamos y llegamos a Río Caribe. Mi hija se fue a la posada y yo fui a buscar alguna farmacia para comprar un remedio para la quemadura. Compré una crema que la farmaceuta me recomendó y al llegar a la posada me puse en la quemadura y empecé asentir un gran alivio. Les cuento que seguí con esa crema un tiempo hasta que logró hacer desaparecer por completo la quemadura sin dejar ninguna marca.
Later we go out to dinner and stroll through the city center where people always go out after sunset. We returned to the inn to rest because the next day would be the last in that city and we still had to visit and learn about other things of interest that I will tell you about later.
Más tarde salimos a cenar y pasear por el centro de la ciudad donde la gente siempre sale después de la caída del sol. Regresamos a la posada a descansar porque el día siguiente sería el ultimo en esa ciudad y nos faltaba visitar y conocer otras cosas de interés que se las contaré más adelante.
Greetings and blessings. Life is beautiful and we must take care of it in the face of the fearsome pandemic that plagues humanity.
Saludos y bendiciones. La vida es bella y hay que cuidarla ante la temible pandemia que azota a la humanidad.
