A couple of days ago we went on a "vacation" to the coast and lake Atitlan.  Lake Atitlan is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
We got some truly amazing photos of that lake.  We will have to show them to you guys when we get back.


The next day we went to the black sands coast.  The sand was totally black and hot.  The waves there were amazing.  Every wave that came to shore was taller than wade, sometimes even taller than me.

The waves would sound like a jet flying by.  It was really loud. 


My mom also touched on the subject of the "ferry", but I noticed she didn't post an accurate picture of how scary this was at the time. 

When we first pulled up the the boat parking we were joking that this was our ride.  And then the man who was leading us to the ferry pointed us to one of them and we were shocked.  Thought the man was crazy, started to question our thinking, and then drove onto it.  After we got on, the man put on 2 motorcycles and a dozen other people.  The raft only had a sheet of plywood on the bottom and sides.  And the frame was only covered enough so that a car could drive on.  The boat made a lot of squeaking and bending, but we made it.

Yesterday, the whole campus had dinner together.  And one thing the kids like to do after meals is arm wrestle.  So the whole campus broke out into these arm wrestling contests. 

  And that's all for now. 
type to you guys soon,

This is a typical sized wave that we saw while we were there.
