Day 8:

We went to a nice beach (one we could swim in). It was  SOOO nice. The only drawbacks were a) the sun and b) sand fleas or some sort of biting organism in the water. A couple people got some really bad sun burn, but all in all the day was very fun.

After we came back from the beach, we packed up once again and headed to the volcano where we would stay at Mapache’s. Just a couple fun facts: “Mapache” means “raccoon” in Spanish; Raccoons are known for being very intelligent; and Mapache’s real name is Oscar.

We arrived at his place in the afternoon. He designed all of the buildings on the property, his goal being to spread environmental awareness through tourism. We ate dinner, did our usual hanging out (we had an interesting talk about dreams) and finally went to sleep.
