December 10th

So, today was our second Rest and Relaxation day. There were going to be two groups of people doing different activities, until Camille found out that the ruins were closed on Mondays…so everyone ended up going to the beach and to go shopping at a town on the beach. It was beautiful there. The sand is so much darker than San Diego sand, and it’s all sparkly. It’s pretty much an open market in the middle of the town and I enjoyed strolling through the town and eating shrimp cocktail and fish. We also went to this really nice private beach resort. It was so nice. They had wireless internet, a nice pool, and access to the beach. The bathrooms were nice and had showers in them and room to actually move around in them. I also believe that there was warm water in the showers…we take showers here at the house in cold water all the time…we don’t have hot water…so people take showers very quickly. Everyone enjoyed hanging out at the resort, it had a deck with hammocks strung up and Nate brought his zip-line and Jared practiced till his ankles hurt trying to walk across it without help. The water at the beach was so refreshing and everyone got a bit darker than before. Sorry for all you people stuck with cold weather, we’re enjoying the warmth of not being in winter country. We do get random rain showers however…as one happened today during evening devo. A few people scrambled to grab their hammocks (that they bought) from outside so that they didn’t get wet and there are several people outside sleeping in their hammocks. It was a nice day of relaxation…really no schedule, just being together having fun. It was lovely.
