**click the link to the right for pictures :)

Saturday- ARRIVAL! I bought a really awesome Spanish quote book in the airport and am going to translate the whole thing! it is really cute :) then there was a guy standing at the airport with a sign that had my name on it! (I have always wanted that to happen haha) We got in quite a bit later than we anticipated so we just grabbed dinner at the incredible buffet and went to the dance show! Then to the beach and saw some beached jellyfish haha, really cool.

Sunday- TO THE BEACH! these crazy ladies started giving us unwanted massages on our feet... we told them we didn't have money and that we didnt want them and they INSISTED! so we paid them way less than they asked for and that was that... oy vey! but it kinda felt good... haha the waves were really fun to play in! then we went to the pool for water aerobics and volleyball and nap time. that night... Italian restaurant, lots of wine, deep talks, the dance show, and then there was a little dance party at the pool!

Monday- EL CENTRO-- shopping! I needed a new swimsuit and well everyone wears thongs there... so YES i bought a thong! dios mio! but i fit right it :) haha I also bought a cute coverup, dress, belt, and necklace... everything is SO much cheaper there! then we returned for a nice nap and got ready to go out! we spent the entire night at our hotel but it was so fun cause there was a lot of crazy people, a band, and of course all inclusive food and drinks! :)

Tuesday- pool fun, another nap, jumping in the waves at the beach, italian dinner, dance show, music by the pool, and walked on the beach where we saw a million jellyfish and a LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLE laying its eggs! SO AMAZING!

Wednesday- SAFARI JEEP TOUR with our venezuelan parents! Stop #1: held parrots :) Stop #2: castle from a battle that i learned about in my history class (it reminded me of masada in israel) Stop #3: beautiful famous church Stop #4: la restinga-- boat ride through the manglas (camera broke :( ) Stop #4: punta de arena, beach, most eastern tip of the island... CRAZY waves! and lunch Stop #5: off roading and absolutely amazing view! Stop #6: cocada- a fancy coconut drink... then we went to the big mall in the city in hope to find a camera but no luck... then dinner at the hotel, dance show, and BEN! we were exhausted!

Thursday- Last day :( lots of beach time! waves, drinks, frisbee, cute little kids, got to talk to my mom on the phone!! then lunch and then napped by the pool! thennn..... we went to KAWI BEACH for a concert! it was sooo much fun! lots of dancing! the beginning was kind of crazy because me and marissa missed the bus but the hotel paid for a taxi for us and it all worked out. the place was soo cool and it was lots of fun! we got back to the hotel at 4 am so just went straight to the beach in hope to watch the sun rise! and had to leave for the airport at 615 am! what a night! we were sooo tired!
