Day 4 - 6/16/2016

             Today we all woke up early and packed up all of our bags to head out of camp. Just prior to eating breakfast loaded all of our gear onto the van so that after we ate we could head out as soon as possible. We had eggs, tortillas, zucchini, and beans for breakfast. After we said goodbye to Rojellio and his friends and family, we headed out to a famous surfing beach near Todos Santos. As we slathered ourselves and each other is sunscreen, we were all mesmerized by the ocean and this incredible beach that was in front of us, we couldn't wait to take a dip.

Then, the surf instructors gave us a quick tutorial on how to stand up on a surfboard successfully. We were split into two groups, one group went surfing first, and the other group would wait for them to come back. Given the uneven ratio of students to instructors only half of us could go at a time. After some surfing failures and successes we enjoyed a lunch of ceviche, mixed fruits, fried chicken tacos, fig bars, and Mexican candy. Done with surfing, we piled back in the vans and started our journey towards Todos Santos. The hotel that we are staying at is incredible. It has incredible views and amenities, such as an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. After an afternoon siesta and overall relaxation time we hopped back in the vans and started towards our next destination for the day, the Todos Santos Boarding House. Here we played, interacted, and ate with about 15 kids not much younger than us from the boarding house. Half of us played soccer and volleyball, while the other half played a very competitive game of ultimate frisbee. After we all got very sweaty and tired we had a delicious meal of tamales and beans that we picked up from a vendor sitting outside of a gas station. They were delicious! Much to our dismay we had to say adios to the kids not long after lunch had ended. On our way back from the boarding house Ms. Larios offered to buy everyone a snack and a drink to keep in their hotel rooms, she was thanked many times for this generous offering. Now we are all going to bed.

Adios,

Tom
