Yesterday a few members of my host family, myself, and several high school classmates of my host mother got together and went to Roca Beach. It is the first time I have ever seen the Pacific Ocean...from land.
The water was cool and refreshing...except for the saltiness. I didn't realize the full force of the waves until I was in the water.
One thing I learned is that my fair skin doesn't agree with the equator's sun and especially not near water. If I go to the beach again, I think in addition to high SPF sun block, I will be wearing long clothes. I have the worst sunburn of my life and my entire body is in pain! Besides for the sunburn, it was a really enjoyable day.
Oh! We miss the Pacific...we used to see glimpses of it through the Golden Gate every day as we drove down the little hill just before arriving at our old house.
