In
order to get our one last time all together in, all of us volunteers planned a trip together to the beach. We ended having an awesome turnout where in the end only 3 volunteers didn't come and 12 of us were there, including the two German boys. It was such a fun time and we really just got to spend a lot of time hanging out and talking. We, of course, watched lots of soccer (sad about the USA) and we were definitely a sight to see in little Same (the beach) as we were the only Gringos and very excited about our soccer games. We also played lots of volleyball on the beach and although my arms are very bruised, I loved every minute of it. We also played cards, took long walks on the beach....oh so romantic ;) And swam around a lot in the ocean.
The only little issue we had was getting home...there was a big indigenous protest that closed down the road from Atacames (the coast) to Quito. We ended up not leaving the coast until 2AM and got back to Quito (for one dollar more) at 11AM. Basically, 12 hours of traveling from the beach in Same to the house here in Quito...yikes! It was worth it though and I am glad I got that time with the volunteers. It's definitely been a growing experience with all of them, but I am really going to miss them and we have experienced a lot together this year!Graduations and parties this week!! Yay!
Love you guys!!
