Day 8: Let’s Go To The Beach

June 8th, 2012

 

Something I have been wanting to do since I’ve been here is go to a beach. There aren’t any beaches where I live that have clear blue water and warm, sandy beaches! Jess and her family loaded up the car with everything we needed for a great day at the beach and we headed out. Since Caracas is 800 feet above sea level, most beaches are far away or only accessible on a boat. We’re heading to a beach not far away called Macuto. It’s only 6 miles north of the airport I arrived at! Not only is there a beach, but there is also a full-scale marina for sailing enthusiasts, dining, museums and a promenade.

After a short drive, we arrived! It feels amazing to have warm sand between my toes! After unpacking the car, Jess, her little brother, and I ran immediately to the water. The water feels great! Not too cold, and not too hot. Just perfect. We built a giant sand castle together and then ate the picnic Jess’ mom packed. Before we left, I walked along the beach and picked up all the pretty shells I could find. I could make a bracelet to remind me of the wonderful day I spent here!
