The Beach!

Yesterday 12:30- Announcements
"Blah, blah, blah, something, something, something... oh, and we're taking you to the beach today!"

Yeah, so they took us to the beach yesterday and it was so awesome! We got on the bus at 2:00 after we ate lunch and I put on sun tan lotion as we waited for the buses to leave.  The ride was about an hour and a half, and of course I slept through most of it.  When we got to the beach, I went right into the water.  The water in the Mediterranean Sea was beautiful.  It was so clean and the temperature was amazingly warm.  The water is very shallow and doesn't really go past your knees closer to the shore.  You have to go really far out in order for it to be about shoulder height, which is good enough to swim in.  I brought my goggles and I swam about a hundred strokes.  It's actually much harder to swim in the sea than in the ocean in NY.  The tide is very strong and only wants to pull you to the shore so swimming across it requires a lot of effort.  I stayed in the water for over an hour, swimming and hanging out with my friends.
When we decided to go back to shore, everyone gathered around in a circle and a few people who brought their guitars began to play and we all started singing.  It was kinda late by the time our dinner came, so when we saw the pizza show up, everyone was so excited to eat and most of us ate at least three slices. We stayed on the beach for a little bit longer and we left at around 9:00.  On the bus ride home, the two girls behind me were singing the entire time.  It was actually very funny because they both didn't really have such good voices and the songs they were singing were just funny.  When we got back to the dorms, I was too tired to run like everybody else did to the showers so I had to wait a while before I could get all of the sand out.  I went to sleep early, at like 11:30 and I hope I will get to do the same tonight.
I know I don't talk much about my classes, but this stuff is just so much more interesting to write about it.  Don't worry though, some day I'll get around to talking about it. Until then, I hope you enjoy what I've written so far.  Shalom V'lehitraot!
