A Good-Old Fashioned Beach Day [July 3]*

================================================================

3 de Julio

Con una nueva semana lista para recibirnos nuestra programación regular de español, ciencia e historia continua. Los planes de la tarde fueron un poco distintos. Con buena clima pasamos la tarde entera en la playa con el único propósito de gozarlo. Jugamos en el agua, nos enterramos en la arena y hasta tuvimos la oportunidad de montarnos en un “caballo de mar”. Para la cena, regresamos a nuestras casas respectivas para prepararnos para una parrilla en la casa de las nenas. La noche se pasó fiesteando, cantando, comiendo y bailando. Aprendimos de un baile tradicional de Puerto Rico llamado bomba que nos dejó suficientemente cansado para dormir.

July 3^rd

With a brand new week at the helm we returned to our regularly scheduled programming of Spanish, science and history. The afternoon plans however, were a bit different. With good weather we spent the entire afternoon at the beach, with the sole purpose of enjoying ourselves. We played in the water, buried ourselves in the sand and even got to ride a “sea horse”. By dinner, we were each at our respective houses getting ready for a nice barbecue at the girl’s house. The evening was spent partying, singing, eating and, later in the night, dancing. We learned bomba, a typical Puerto Rican dance which left us just tired enough to get to sleep.
