Back from the beach....

So on Saturday morning we drove to the Pacific Coast, specifically San Jose. It was really warm and humid, but it was amazing. It was nice to have a break from speaking Spanish and homework.

When we left, we accidentally forgot 2 people, but they still met up with us...that was interesting.

It's about a 2 or 2 1/2 hour drive to the coast, so not horrible. We stayed in an "all-inclusive resort" so we didn't have to worry about food or anything. Let's just say that I definelty ate way too much food ;) We spent most of the afternoon, or what we had left, on the beach in the black sand. It was amazing. Then we went to dinner, which was really nice and they had a ton of food, basically anything you could think of. Then at 8:30 we had worship with our group. After that a couple other girls and I went to a "light show" which was basically where they had black lights on people who were dressed up in clothes and lip-synced to different songs. It was a lot of fun. After that I went to bed and then got up at 5:30 in the morning to go see the sunrise on the beach. That was amazing and I'm really glad that I woke up for it.

The rest of the day we spent on the beach or by the pool. We left at about 3 and got back at about 5. I guess it wasn't super exciting, but it was just nice to relax and not have to worry about anything like homework or speaking in Spanish.

Also, here are a couple websites that have info about G-Term on that you might want to check out:
