A lot of people don’t know this about me, but I’ve always wanted a hammock or as you would say in Spanish “Una Maca.” It’s not a secret or anything, it just doesn’t usually come up. Some of my greatest naps as a child were spent on hammocks either on the beaches of Venezuela or in the woods of Maine. I’m an Irish/Latina hence the polar opposite choices of vacation destinations. My background has really made me the well-rounded person I am today. However, I’m hoping that someday owning a hammock of my own will make me a well-rested person for once.
There’s just nothing like lying in a hammock on a warm day listening to the sounds of nature as it swings back and forth slightly. I have truly never experienced anything so relaxing. Really the only thing getting in my way of owning a hammock is the lack of space in my apartment. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the day when I have a backyard again or an apartment with a terrace to make this much needed addition to my life. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t start shopping.
