Santander day one

I woke up early, about 7 AM (about the same time as the padre of the house returned from being with his hermanos). Had a quick breaky and hauled my overweight overnight bag down to the bus stop where I met up with the group. Vamos a Santander! Here’s part of the group waiting for the others.

The ride took about 5 hours but I managed to sleep all but maybe a half hour. That was soooo uncomfortable.

Once we arrived everyone wanted to hit the beach. It is incredibly gorgeous here! Light colored sandy beaches. A few topless people… even though there were signs saying no nudism. Here’s Janessa and myself on the beach!

We played some ultimate Frisbee on the beach!!!! I had never played before, SO much fun. People call my throw the bullet. It makes the flinch when they go to catch it.

After we all got cleaned up we went for some traditional Spanish food… Mandarin Chinese! Haha SO Here we are being like the locals (Annie and myself!).

Finished up the night by playing 3 rounds of Mafia in our room! Once again it was SO much Fun!!! We pushed the beds to the side of the room and everybody but one girl came and played!
