Uvita

This past weekend we got friday off so we headed out bright and early for Uvita. The cool thing about this place is that the coast is shaped like a whale's tale. It is really hard to explain but I am going to try. Because of the shape of the coast, the beach has a place where the ocean crashes into itself. Like I said, really hard to explain, but it looks like there are two shores fighting each other. It was trippy, I felt like I was in Inception. We spent both Friday and Saturday on the beach and both days by the afternoon it started poring raining. The first day we walked back to the hotel once it started, but the second day the boys were still busy playing ultimate frisbee so we stayed through the storm. As we were sitting there we started getting cold and had the brilliant idea to warm up in the ocean. It was definitely against my intuition, but it worked. The ocean is so warm here that we played in the waves as it rained cats and dogs above us to stay warm. At the beach on Friday we met a dog that the girls named Charlie and the boys named Carlos. Charlie/Carlos followed us all the way back to our hotel (a good mile walk) and kept us company till the Saturday afternoon. Even when we woke up the Saturday morning he joined us for breakfast, he was a good little buddy with a broken tail (poor Charlie). Besides this, we stayed at this cute hotel that had lots of hammocks and cool hanging lamps and themed rooms. I stayed in the Bob Dylan room which entailed lots of posters of Bob Dylan everywhere. We ate a delicious meal of pork ribs, beans, cole slaw, and home made bread at the hotel on our last night (sooo good). And we all woke up bright and early to catch the bus home, only it was 40 minutes late, arriving at 5:40 instead of 5:00 am so a few of us may have laid down in the parking lot and fell back asleep... (I might be included in this few... face down, knocked out... maybe). It was a good trip, a whole bunch of fun and a whole lot of sun.
