From now on, we're on our own for the weekend adventures. This past weekend we went to a beach called Samara on the Pacific.
Hired a guy to drive us up there and stayed in a hotel on the beach.
So great! We had so much fun just hanging out on the beach all weekend. I have a lovely tan now...with a bit of a sun burn as well.
The waves are incredible here, so one of the girls, Jessica, and I love to go dive in them. Plus the temperature of the water is so so nice. Like I'm in a giant bathtub :)
Last week, four of us went to get our 2 hour massages for free as Sol decided to pay for them. I'm pretty sure I have never felt that relaxed and that good after anything. It's definitely worth the $20 I'll be spending the next time I go.
Thursday we had a farewell party for the students who were leaving from Summer I and Summer II. It was sad. My closest friend from this session left, but I got closer with the rest of the group over the weekend. That night we went out to send them off well. Which basically meant everyone except me and 2 of the other girls got drunk. I had a couple shots, but I was totally fine. Half the group remembered nothing of the night before the next morning. Do y'all have any idea how much money I'm saving on not buying alcohol every night? Or not going through 3 or 4 6 packs of beer when I'm at the beach? Literally hundreds for some of the students in the group...who are going to have surprised parents when they get the next credit card bill.
Friday we went to the National Theater to listen to the National Symphony play. A famous violinist from Japan was playing with them too. It was really beautiful.
We left Saturday at 5:30 and got back last night at 9 when I may or may not have gotten my finger slammed in a car door by my roommate who thinks I slammed my own finger in the door. It's swollen and bruised and I can't move it today. My host mom wanted to take me to the clinic, but I was like uh uh. I'm not going back there again.
Besos y abrazos!
Your beach trip sounds so amazing!! And as for the 2 hour massage... that goes without saying..I wish i was there with you!!! I am so glad to hear that you are still loving it. Hopefully the finger gets better. I think we are a lot a like with our willingness to go to the doctor! (Just asked my mom, I caught a softball game with a broken hand once :) looking back on it, maybe that wasnt the best decision!)
ReplyDeleteHopefully it gets better soon though!!
Keep the updates coming, I love reading them!
Love you!
