Hola readers, here is what happened last friday leaving for Manabi, the all exchange student trip. The kids in Cuenca traveled 8 hours to a small but beautiful beach called Manabi, we got to meet up with all the kids from our spanish camps, and meet all the rest of the exchange students that weren't there. 135 in total, the sun was out, the water was up, and the excitement was the only energy we ran on, since we had very little. Once we got all settled in our rooms we headed towards the dance floor ( its latin america, we dance as much as we eat and sleep) and hit some tunes, and some games. The game i was in was guy musical bodies, us girls had to dance around these guys and when the music stopped we had to cling onto them, only us because they had their hands behind their backs. I ended up losing but its was really fun playing! The week proceeded with going to a beach resort and swimming in the ocean, and taking a boat ride through this little bay to see all these birds sitting in the white dusted trees ( the trees were really green to start out with.) The only bad part about that day, besides getting ice cold water dumped on mi by a Brazilian, was that the el mar come mi zapatos ( the ocean ate my shoes!) Then there was beach volleyball the next day, along with riding this giant hotdog in the ocean, which all 8 kids riding it fell off. But i think the best part of the trip was taking this big hike up this road behind all the houses, and when you got to the top, well just look at the pictures, it will explain a thousand different words describing how beautiful the view was over the ocean.
Here take a look at some pics from Manabi!
