Yesterday we sort of had an off day, and they took our whole team to the beach for the day. We went to Monterrico, which I think is one of the more touristy beaches in the country, probably one of the nicer ones. By touristy, it was by no means more developed or anything, I think that just means there were a few foreigners (not really even Americans) and the prices were slightly higher (this one ice cream cone that we buy all the time cost 6Q instead of 5Q..a whole 12 cents more). It was a really nice day though - sort of cloudy in the morning but by 11 or so it got sunny and really hot. Because it´s a volcanic beach, the sand was black(ish) which was pretty cool. The waves were really high and the undertow was really strong, so I didn´t actually swim in the ocean. Even people that really wanted to swim in the ocean couldn´t....there was a pool right off the sand though, so that was nice. My first pool of the summer!
So is black volcanic sand less annoying than the other stuff? The Chester Pool has a new interactive play area - it is very popular...on the days the pool is actually populated. It's been 3 weekends in a row with steady rain and today, the first weekday it's open, it was cloudy and cold. Isn't this comment totally off your subject? :)
