So we just got back from Tamarindo Beach. It was so great!! We left at like 1 (after classes) on Friday and drove until about 730. We walked around on the beach, got Venezuelan food and a fruit smoothie, and went dancing! I was a little disappointed because the club played American music. I was really looking forward to practicing some of my salsa and meringue moves. I only paid 4 dollars to get into the bar, though, and got 2 free drinks with it, so that was pretty cool. The club was a little too crowded and the guys were a little too grabby for me, but it was still a lot of fun.
I spent almost all of Saturday on the beach. I swam, laid out, and walked around. A couple of other girls and I also explored some little shops and went surfing! Thanks to my lesson in Hawaii with Sparky, I stood up pretty easily : ) Some girls rented 2 boards for the day for $15, so when they went to get lunch they just let us borrow them. It was a lot of fun. We swam in the pool in the afternoon, then got ready for dinner. We (5 of us girls) watched the sunset on the beach then met up with some guys and went out to dinner in a big group. I got some delicious mahi mahi, but the service wasn't the greatest. It was a lot of fun to get to know so many new people, though. After dinner we got some ice cream and walked around on the beach. We made a bonfire out of dried leaves and some branches we found (plus a lot of paper to catch it). We went back to the pool and hung out and talked and played word games until we went to bed.
Sunday was a relaxing day of looking at shops. I bought a couple cute souvenirs and (of course) another smoothie. I literally had 4 of those things this weekend. We swam in the hotel pool a little then got on the bus for the 7 hour ride home! I was SOOOO burnt when I got home. Luckily, my Tica mama has an aloe plant and she rubbed some of the juice on my shoulders and face, so its not burning now. Now Skyping people, homework, and to bed!
