Salinas- 09 Mayo 2009

Our first day out at the beach. Two hours to paradise. Our best friends Luis and Susanna drove us out to the sea where we tasted salt and sand and had a great day of relajar. Short and sweet.

Items on the unwritten agenda included: water bottle toss followed by frisbee toss (thanks Kristy Sue for bringing it along and Sarah for your amazing catching skills), swimming out to the buoy (great workout for those of us not so accustomed to ocean water), soaking up the sun, and a beautiful boat tour which Shelly was able to capture on film. Thanks for sharing your talents.

The time that wasn't spent on all the above was sold to vendors bartering down prices for jewelry and refusing all other sales. I believe Tricia won the prize for most diverse selection of aretes.

Lunch/dinner was served up at a beautiful restaurant gracias a la Junta. First time most of us felt safe eating vegetables from the buffet. Chocolate cake and coco ice cream also were some of the favorites.

As we arrived home we rushed in the showers
to show up a half hour later clean and pretty as we waited to leave for the health fair. The fair went smoothly with Kristy Sue and Allie running the show. RCP, la presion, la azucar de sangre, y muchas charlas. A great time for creating relationships and teaching health. Busy day- but vale la pena.
