Day Six: Beach Day

It's hard to imagine this trip is coming to an end! What an adventure we've had! Mr. Cook and I have been interviewing students to hear what they've learned. I'm so proud of the growth they've made while here... both in their Spanish and in their understanding and appreciation of the Puerto Rican culture.

It's pretty safe to say that by now everyone is a little tired of beans, rice and meat. So today when Astacio presented the idea of going to a buffet for lunch, we had to laugh a little when he said they would have everything we could possibly want... "You know... pork, chicken, rice and beans." While our meals have definitely consisted of nearly the same foods each day, I think it's been a true glimpse into the culture of the people here. Needless to say, everyone will be happy to get home to their vegetable gardens and fresh fruits and vegetables.

We spent the day visiting the farmer's market and driving to La Guancha boardwalk to feed sardines to the tarpon and pelicans. The afternoon was a relaxing visit at Playa Santa for some much-needed beach time.

We finished the day with a nice dinner around the pool for our last night in Puerto Rico. Tomorrow we're off... so long beautiful Puerto Rico! You treated us well!
