Today our day started with waking up really early, well at 7:00 AM, then we had breakfast at the commodore, which consisted of eggs, beans, papaya, and tortillas. Later, we went on a private bus to beach (Proyecto Palo De Oro, Isla Juan Venado) where we went on a boat ride around the lagoon and saw many iguanas, birds, and mosquitos (the WORST). Luckily there were only a few bug bites on this trip because we sprayed ourselves every 5 minutes.
After the boat ride around the lagoon, we went on a private island on the beach and played in the water for half an hour to an hour. We all had a blast due to the water feeling so refreshing in this hot weather. Eventually, we went back on the boats to head to the our next location, lunch at Playa Roca.
Playa Roca is the one the best restaurants we had ever been to! Our meal included three servings. First, they served us side salads, then pasta, which was big enough to feed a whole village, and lastly a piece of lemon cake! Having this meal definitely reminded us of being back home.
After eating lunch we went to the public beach, Las Pinotos, where we played in the ocean, played Frisbee and beach volleyball, and searched for sea shells. This was a great experience to share with the group as a bonding moment.
The rest of our day included picking up laundry, eating dinner at the commodore (which many of us were still full from lunch) and having English tutoring which always ends in success.
After having such a fun successful day, we ended the night with starting our dollar a day activity at 10:30 PM. BUCKET SHOWERS FOR EVERYONE!!
The beach looks beautiful! Nice to hear you all had some bonding time today. Good luck with getting through the dollar a day experience. Hopefully it helps you truly understand how resourceful and durable people can be with what little they have.
omg that sounds like so much fun!! I’m glad you’re having the time of your life in Nicaragua Raquel!!!
Wow yesterday sound so fun. I am sure the cool water and beach were enjoyable. Jasmine hope you are feeling better. Please take care of you. We all love you and miss you. Grandma
So glad you had a fun day at the beach! I’m guessing the warm water was a little different from our N. Calif. beach experience.
You all looks so happy!!! Does my heart good to see you all having such a wonderful time!!!
Nice! A well deserved fun time at the beach. Love the pictures. You all looked like you were having a great time. And can’t wait to read your next blog. Your blogs make my day. Please keep blogging.
And for you Warrior fans, (especially Jenyse & Josette, you wanted me to let you know) the Golden State Warriors are the 2015 NBA Champions. Woo-hoo!
Great post Jasmine! Keep up the positive attitude and have fun! Big Love, Miss Yafuso
