It's Beach Day, We Made It! 11/29/13

      I was so excited to see the clear water and it did not disappoint. For those of you that have been out of the country you probably think I'm a nut but I've only been to Canada and I haven't been on vacation since I was fourteen so I honestly thought I would never see anything like this, again so blessed. I just really wished that my family could be there.
      This was really a magical day because this was the most American lunch we had all week and it made me so happy. I had french fries!
     I couldn't swim because I didn't have a Haiti appropriate swim suit but I'm kind of glad because I probably would have fried in the sun. I did take a short kayak ride though which was lovely and the water was so warm! I spent a lot of time looking for tiny shells and I actually did pretty well. Jolie and Amy paid for big shells that they were pretty excited about. Williamson gave us all bracelets that said Haiti which was so sweet.
     I had a great day but I was happy when it was time to go because home was getting closer and closer! I didn't think I would sleep that night and although I didn't write it in my journal it's coming back to me that my biggest concern at this point was that I could not find anything for my dad and Jake! Jolie was making fun of me but I couldn't find anything they would like and it really bothered me so dad and Jake I'm really sorry.

Our translators left us soon after we got back to campus which was very odd because we will not forget them and everything we learned through them but they will have another group next week, and the week after....It was a very odd feeling to consider leaving, I wished I could stay and be home at the same time.
