Week #5

October 22- 28

(Sorry there are more pictures coming!)

So sorry everybody it has been so long since I've written!! I am still alive and happy and having a good and busy time here in Las Terrenas surviving the heat and mosquitoes! As for our fifth week here, we didn’t actually do that much, although I did also have my first real dive in the ocean which was exciting! We did some skills but mostly just swam around at the beach close to the dive shop called Playa Eden (it was a shore dive). There isn't much to see there, but it was good to get more skills in. This dive isn't that deep, only around 7 meters at the maximum depth which was actually good for my first dive. The visibility was much clearer than I have seen it before, but not as clear as it could have been. 

Although the actual date of Halloween wasn’t this week, on Saturday the volunteers had a Halloween costume party where we carved pineapples and watermelons! (Almostttt as good as my moms party - just kidding it was nowhere close, but we still had fun!) 

We spent our time off this week at Playa Bonita almost every day, as it is super easy for us to get to and still always amazing to jump into the refreshing ocean! We love staying at the beach to watch the sunset even though there are many many mosquitoes out as it gets dark! Watching the sun come down through the palm trees though is always beautiful.
