Day 8 - Arrival at Plaza Hermosa! (Juan)

-
 Today started out early in the morning, letting out the morning sleepiness with a bit of yoga practice. After that was done, students finished any last-minute packing preparations and ate breakfast (eggs and pancakes; delicious as usual).

We were each given a surfboard and every two students shared an instructor. By the end of the day, everyone was able to get up successfully on their boards. I was so surprised at how easy it was!
