Burros
Some of us joined the Spanish college students on a hike for Sabbath afternoon. We climbed the hills behind the school again, tackling the steep slopes over and over again. When we got to the first hill, I looked back and saw a man with two donkeys trotting beside him! Donkeys, actual donkeys! One of them was really curious and kept on running ahead and investigating the side. How cute.
We came to the crest of a hill with an unusually good view and settled down on the rocks for a worship talk. It was beautiful. We had a wide panoramic view of the valley and ocean. The hills remind me of how I imagined the Bible to look like; lots of scrub grass, scraggly trees, rocks and hills. Even though it was overcast, it was very peaceful. And I got to practice a lot of Spanish!
Vamanos a la Playa!
On Sunday, Elizabeth, Stephanie, and I ran six miles (SIX miles!!!) to the beach. Unfortunately, before we got very far, we had to go through a tunnel. And thanks to a huge thunderstorm Saturday night, it was full of puddles and mud. We hoped it was just mud stuck to our shoes... We got so dirty. But that's okay. Everything's an adventure, right?
