5th Day - Monterrey and Carmel


Saturday 16th

The day didn’t start out good because we had 3 students that got sent home.
Fortunately the day got better and the first thing we did was going to Venice beach. The
most impressing things were cute stores, some of them selling marijuana for medical
purposes, a skate park and of course the beautiful ocean. Another amazing thing was the
street artists, who performed different talents. One of the groups danced and involved the
people around it. Everybody was impressed by them doing stunts like jumping over people
or spinning on their heads.
After we took tons of pictures on the beach, we continued to our second stop – Santa
Monica. Santa Monica was beautiful the atmosphere was just amazing! The water was
freezing cold but we got our feet wet anyways. Time past by and it was almost noon when
we stopped at Denny’s. We had to wait a long time to get our lunch, but the food was
delicious. During this long time, a few people went to a machine where we won a small
stuffed pig. We were really excited about it and named it Ihana.
Doesn’t Santa Barbara sound amazing? It did to us and the pier filled our expectations. It
was just gorgeous. We walked all the way to the end, where all the souvenir shops were
located. As we entered the bus, we got ready for a longer drive to our hotel. On the way, we
stopped for dinner – in our favorite place - Buffet or a Beefay. Jumpei started a little food
fight by throwing pudding at David.
