Sun, Sand and Salt



With another busy week behind us, we set off early this morning for Playas, a very appropriate name for the town on the shore. Before heading to the beach, though, we set off in small boats to find and swim with the dolphins. After going a long way, we finally saw them! No swimming actually happened at that point, but we did see the delfines race the larger boats, surface close to us, and even do some gymnastics. So despite some of our doubts, it turned out to be a fun and interesting activity.
Hungry for the beach and food, we went to the Hostal Bellavista ("beautiful view") and were very satisfied. (Even the non-fish-lovers enjoyed the scrumptious sea bass.) Then, without waiting 30 minutes, we hit the waves. For the remainder of the day, we played, swam, barely avoided being pull far out to sea, lost possessions to the ocean, bought new treasures from passing vendors, traced messages in the sand, chased the frisbee, and enjoyed soaking up the sun.
