yeah, if i discovered one thing about myself this weekend it´s that i´m not cut out for spending extensive periods at the beach. i don´t have the patience to lay on a towel and cook my body, and my skin doesn´t have the tolerance for it either. i have made it my personal goal to be and stay the whitest person in guatemala, and so far, i´ve definitely lived up to that worth goal.
this was a school planned activity, and we left for the beach at the unheard of hour of 4:30 in the morning, and arrived at around 8. it didn´t take us long to find the waves, but we were acustomed to the chilly temps of xela, and the heat of the beach soon sent us diving for the shade. we cleaned the beach on saturday afternoon, and had a bonfire saturday night with the washed up debris. and the locals joined the party bring four wheelers for the entertainment of us gringos! it was a realxing weekend. check out the journal entry entitled "Chicken Bus Experience" to continue this adventure.
