Ruth’s routine
When I go to bed, I usually brush my teeth at 8:00 o’clock after dinner, but sometimes I
forget it and then I have to get up in the middle of the night to do so.
Occasionally, when I'm too lazy, I set up an alarm just for that.
On the other hand, there is one thing I'll never be able to do, and it is washing my face
before bed, because that always wakes me up.
In the morning, I always wake up and immediately and take a shower, I usually put on
shorts and a t-shirt, sometimes I wear a formal dress when I have to go to work. I often
have eggs for breakfast, but always I must drink a delicious coffee.

Dear Mom.

I am really happy to write to you, last week I was in la Guajira, it is a magical place.
I enjoyed every moment there. On Wednesday, I was landing in Riohacha’s airport at
1:00 pm, I had lunch there in Riohacha and I spent the whole day around. At 3:00 pm
I was eating friche in the main park, it is delicious. Then around 3:30 pm I was walking
around to know the place and buying some souvenirs, at almost 7:00 pm that day I
was doing the check-in in the hotel, it is a wonderful hotel, with a swimming pool and
excellent service. On Thursday I was waking up really early, I was very excited because
I was going to travel to Cabo de la Vela, it is around 3 hours from Riohacha by bus.
There in Cabo de la Vela, the landscapes are really beautiful, I stopped for a minute and
I was drinking a delicious juice in a Rancheria in front of the sea. Then I continued
walking and I stopped again in the Arcoiris beach, an amazing place full of sand colors
and very calm. Finally, I went to Ojo del Agua beach, where I was enjoying of calm and
crystal waters to swim, after that, I went to sleep in a Rancheria, it is a real and a
marvelous experience. On Friday the last day of my traveling, I was visiting El Faro, the
most tourist place in Cabo de la Vela and I was running because I also wanted to visit
Punta Gallinas, before coming back and I did it. There in Punta Gallinas I was visiting
The Taroa Dunes where is amazing to see the sand mountains and at the end of those
mountains, there is the gorgeous sea. On Saturday I was coming back to Cali, were 3
amazing days full of moments and experiences very hard to forget.

I can’t wait to take you there with me dear mum.
