Hey, y’all!
Its been a while, but I’m here to share about a really let’s say an interesting and scary trip I went on. Let’s start with the basics, I was in Cancun, Mexico. It was beautiful of coarse and everything was going really well. The first couple of days we explored, got to go in the ocean, and had baby monkeys sit on our heads and more! Everything was normal, we were living our best lives!
My family and I have been to Mexico before and it was really fun the last time we went. As some of you know Mexico sometimes is not let’s say the safest place out of the resorts. Sometimes it a little sketchy you know. Right? Well, my family and I knew this and always counted on the resorts to keep us safe, and we did. (Disclaimer, not everywhere/everything is bad there)
The second to last day, my whole family including me were on the beach playing with these little boards on the waves trying to surf (This was SOOO fun). My sisters and I were splashing in the waves and having a blast. We had noticed over the last few days on the beach that there were these two men selling things, we later learned these people were trespassing onto this resorts beach and selling cigars. When my sisters and I were done in the water we were walking to our parents and out of nowhere many frantic people were running towards the hotel. We all were so confused and did not know what to do. Then this one man started yelling “THERES A SHOOTING BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE ON THE BEACH, GO HID IN THE CABANAS”.
My whole family looked at each other frightened and started running to the cabanas. We hid under and between them, it was so scary! Many people we crying and SO SO scared. We kept as quiet as we could and remanded hiding until managers and hotel workers came and told us to go to our hotel rooms.
After this frightening situation was over my family and I were told about what the details were. It happened to be those two men selling the cigars who got in a fight, which was about both of them selling the same stuff. Then one man pulled a gun on the other. Luckily, no one got hurt or injured and they were arrested.
The rest of the trip I was on my nerve and we did not go back on the beach for the last couple days. Everything else on the trip was great it just happened to be that one event that made the trip scary:(
Well, thank you for taking the time to read my blog! I hope that nothing like this ever happens to any of you. Keep in mind this is not very common. Anyways, are there any places and/or experiences that you have been in similar to this you have been in?
