This past weekend, half of us volunteers decided to make our way to the Pacific coast for a little bit of paradise. About two hours away is Monterrico, a cute and quaint beach town. It is known for its black sand and gigantic waves. We arrived on Saturday morning after taking quite the adventurous shuttle ride (complete with the driver using a 2 liter bottle of soda to pour gas into his tank!). Once there, we quickly changed into our suits to run down to the waves. And, let me tell you, we literally ran as the black sand is super hot on your feet. haha.
For the rest of the weekend we enjoyed delicious licuados, fresh fish, hammocks, and the ocean breeze. Another highlight was making our way to the local bar for a night full of dancing. It was the perfect getaway. Even though my camera got pummeled by a wave and is now on the fritz, I definitely plan on returning to Monterrico muy pronto :)
