Last weekend was carnival down here! It is our vacation time, we had 2 days of school off which was really nice! Since we had all this free time my friends and I decided to hit the beach, which is actually the ´thing to do´ during carnival. We left for our adventure on Thursday. At about 1130 at night we got on the bus for our 7 hour bus ride! It didn´t take long for the first obstacle to arise, our bus broke down at about 230 in the morning! We were stopped in the middle of nowhere for about an hour until we could flag another bus down. It was still fun though because we met a lot of interesting people on the bus while we waited. The only problem was that the other bus was already full so we ended up sitting in the aisle for the rest of the trip! I didn´t get as much sleep as planned but hey I was just glad to have a ride there! We arrived at Atacames at around 8 in the morning.
We were all tired but also really excited to be there! So we jumped in this motorcycle type trolley thing and went to our hostel. It was really nice with hammocks and all. Surprisingly nice for what we paid! And it was a block from the beach! Perfect location! We all hurried to get our swimming suits on grabbed some breakfast and headed for the sand. It was absolutely gorgeous! The water was pretty warm actually and I got to boogie board which is always fun! We spent three days soaking in the sun and checking out the nightlife. I have never done so much dancing in such a short amount of time! Since everyone was on vacation it seemed like the party never ended! I was pretty tired by the end of it all.
But actually we were able to visit 2 more beaches before leaving. We went to Ton Supa where a friend´s family has a house. Then on Monday morning we went to a beach in a town called Sua. This beach was a lot calmer so that was a nice way to end the trip. We went banana boating there which if you have done it you know it is pretty fun. You kind of get the wind knocked out of you but at the same time you don´t want to stop! Kind of a love hate thing:) The hotel we stayed at there was even nicer than the first, it was like a giant maze so I enjoyed that! Thankfully our ride home was smooth and without any interruptionsJ It´s back to reality and school now, but I´m really grateful for that nice break! I´m about to head to the park to do some homework but I miss you and hope to hear from you soon!!
