Today we have been blessed with an R and R day, which began with a trip to a beautiful beach about 45 minutes from the Casa. There is a river running into the ocean at this beach and many tiendas de comida (stands with food for sale) fish (tilapia) rice, empanadas, fried okra, jugo (juice) etc. They have made pools to catch the water that you can wade in and the water is cool, straight off the montanas (mountains) Very nice on a hot day! We did not go to this beach last year.
Joselito (one of our translators) told us they can't trust teenagers at this beach (sorry 2009 team) because it is more dangerous, rip tides, and strong waves. The waves actually knocked us down and we weren't out very far at all. I sat down and let them carry me up on the sand on my butt. Fun!
We will go to church (iglesia) tonight with the group from north Seattle. We are looking forward to the experience. There are many new COTN staff here this year, new people to meet and get to know, not to mention the interns and short term teams.
That is it for now. Hasta la vista! Vaya con Dios!
