El Peredon

8/14/15

We are in El Peredon now, and have been having a great time.  We are staying in a casita right next to the ocean.  The waves are huge and very fun to surf.  The beaches are black sand beaches so they roast your feet.  This morning we did a turtle tour and saw some massive sea turtles.  We then came back to the surf camp and had breakfast.  Afterwards we did a math lesson, and then went on a mangrove tour which was super peaceful and quiet; the tour guide even caught a crab for us!!  After the tour was done we came back to the surf house again.  We asked the kitchen to cook the crab for us, it was delicious and tasted similar snow crab just half the size.  We then went surfing.  

After surfing we just played in the waves a bit, the waves were too rough for surfing so we just waded out into the water a ways and tried not to get trucked.  

We then left at about six to go to Carla's house.  Carla is the lady who works with La Chola Chuza, which is the organization that we are partnering with in El Peredon.  I taught a boy named Danny guitar,

and then we went out for dinner.  For dinner we went to one of the locals house's for BBQ chicken and it was surprisingly good although they didn't use BBQ sauce.  The power went out a few times because there was a huge thunderstorm going on, therefore, they insisted on having their son drive us home in his car.  His car didn't have seat-covers, cushions, or headlights, and we even had to wipe the fog from his windows.  It also stalled a few times, I will most likely not be complaining about my first car.  We then went to bed as we were all exausted.
