People here don´t like to to swim in the waves with the currents and everything, so they put a ton of rocks down to kind of block it and create an amazing huge natural swimming pool.
We only got to stay for about three hours because we had to head back for Karina´s sister´s baptism--which probably saved my skin. It was discovered that I failed to bring WATER PROOF sunscreen, I only brought the normal daily kind (am I an idiot or what?). Seriously, I have never been so sunburned in my LIFE. If we had stayed any longer I think my skin would have caught on fire. So for the past three days my skin has been in an incredible amount of pain. It´s just starting to kind of go away and the peeling is about to begin. Yikes.

Haha. For some reason my jumps always look this this...arms spread over head, legs spread open behind, and mouth open.
The water is so freaking crystal clear
:) How beautiful, huh? There is also a beachy sand part where people can hang out, but we like being at the end of this dock (I dont really know what else to call it) so that we could jump in and already be in the deep end!
All of the sudden a helicopter and plane appeared out of nowhere. Anastacio said that sometimes Nato runs some tests over here. It was so cool. The helicopter did about three rounds and then came down really low to us and they all were waving and did some tricks for us! If you enlarge the picture you can see the pilot waving!
Oh boo hoo! you only got to spend 3 hours at a beach. Jake won't even let me leave the house, I'm so jealous. So sorry you have a sunburn. Do they have alo vera or fresh alo plants there? This is going to sound crazy, but Native Americans rub raw potatoes (cut open) on their sunburns and it works like a charm. My aunt did it to me once (hurt like you know what) but the next day my skin wasn't in pain even though it was clearly severely burnt.
