Yeah, it looks pretty dramatic, huh? The coast is actually really pretty, but a very different kind of pretty from any beach I've ever seen in the U.S. Meredith, Maria and I shared a room at the beach house, and while the room was very convenient --right off the main kitchen -- it was also the main congregating area for all of the early-risers in the group, especially parents of small children. I woke up at like 6:30 with all the talking, and read until breakfast at 8:30. Unfortunately, we spent a lot of the weekend drinking instant coffee... We had a devotional time and some singing before an hour or two of free time. I watched some people play tennis before lunch, and then we had a block of about 5 hours of free time. Sadly, I was feeling pretty awful, so I ended up lying in bed for about 3 of those hours. Afterward, Maria, Julia, Laura (all missionary kids) and I walked to "the punta" (in the picture). Apparently, you can frequently see dolphins and sea otters from the lookout, but all we saw were some large crabs on the rocks. We had dinner (a barbecue), and I went for a walk with two pastor kids down to the water. Then we had some more alabanza and sharing of testimonies. I went to bed at 10:30, probably mostly exhausted from trying to speak/understand Spanish all day.
