Today we woke up early after a late night of dancing and festivities. Breakfast is always a bit confusing with the language barrier, but it was delicious none the less once everyone received their order. The bus ride was a few hours, but it gave some of us time to catch up on sleep and talk about the day to come. We arrived around ten o'clock and began exploring the city, eventually breaking into smaller groups so that everyone could get the most out of our time here. The historic city was littered with beautiful architecture and we were able to see the first cathedral of the new world. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we could have spent hours looking around the city, in the local shops and walking along the coast, but after two hours it was time to meet back at the bus and embark to the beach.
Driving to the beach was an experience in itself as we were surrounded by the culture and the bluest water. Once we parked, we walked through a mini food market that smelled amazing before reaching the sand and the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The people were beautiful and welcoming, minus the hotel workers that did their job to rip us American tourist off ridiculously. We met so many people, and a few of us played soccer (futbol!) with some kids on the beach. There was a dish of food that included an entire grouper with papas fritas that was amazing, though it might have been the cause of stomach problems among the group. Overall, the beach was overwhelmingly beautiful and an epic experience.
When we got back we decided to just get some food and prepare for the next day, packing suitcases and such... what a great day.
