No Ditches!

Today was our beach day.  I'll let Maddy, '13 take it from here:
The view at the beach definitely made up for the three-hour bus ride.  The beach town of Sosua was crowded with buses full of people ready to enjoy the high 80-degree weather along with us. Upon arriving, we all took our first steps onto the hot, white sand and settled into our spot, directly under the sun. We quickly unpacked our towels and smothered our bodies in sunscreen. The sand grew hotter as the temperature did, forcing us to sprint into the water to cool ourselves off. The water might’ve been the clearest body of water I’ve seen in a while, allowing me to collect different colors of beach glass and shells easily. Since the current was very calm and the waves were non-existent, a couple other friends and I remained afloat for the remainder of the trip after lunch. The amount of people grew as time went on, filling the water with families, but there was somehow still so much space left for all of us to fit comfortably. I originally planned on tanning for the whole day, but the heat suggested otherwise. Swimming and treading water with people was definitely a better decision than just lying in the sun or shade for me because the experience was simply breathtaking.

Tomorrow we are back to the aqueduct for our last day on the job.
Hasta luego.
