A Day At The Beach

It is hard to believe that this is our last full week here. Yesterday we took a long three hour bus ride to the beach. The sand was black and it was the first time I had ever swam in the Pacific Ocean. The waves were extremely tall and dangerous. There was one point where I got knocked down by a wave and did like three somersaults. There was also a pool to swim in as well. After being in the pool and getting thrown and pushed in many times it was lunch time. It was really nice because where we were was a little vacation spot so we got to eat at the hotel. It was nice to be eating lunch and being able to hear the gigantic waves crashing on the shore at the same time. After eating lunch, we returned to the pool once more while some went back to swim in the ocean which left the insides of my bathing suit black with sand. When we got back to Antigua we changed, showered and went out to eat to a small Italian restaurant. Yes, we ate Italian food in Guatemala. It was not like what we were used to but it was still good. I cannot wait for tomorrow for the Sevilla teachers vs. PHA soccer game. They are also having a barbeque for us and there will be a pool for after the soccer game.
