Day 15: day on the beach

---

Today was more like a day you would think of when you say ''I'm on holiday''.

It started of with a usual holiday lie in reaching very late morning so I'm afraid i can't really say anything about what other family members untill about 11am. But when i was finally up and running properly Ben had prepared a bit of a devotional for us (something dad came up with for the holiday) to start my day off. A few minutes later we were alll down the beach, which is very easy to get to as our appartment is in a building right in the sea front.

The beach here is nice with fine sand and the sea is a good temperature with decent size waves for me and ben to have some good fun on the body boards. After a couple of hours doing the ususal beach activities mum brought us down a picnic for us complete with sandwiches, crisps and coke, so we crammed ourselvs into the tiny beach tent, to avoid at least some of the strong sun here, and feasted on cheese and ham sandwiches.

The whole day was very relaxing and fun just staying on the beach for most of the afternoon and then going out for a nice meal in the evening to a restaurant also just along the sea front.

Now this is a holiday.

Joe.

All your adventures
I am really enjoying reading all about your adventures and imagining everything you are doing. You are all very good writers, and make it easy to imagine. The day on the lake in Argentina sounded amazing, and I'm sure will be one of the highlights of the holiday. Likewise, I was really drawn in to the endless driving up Chile, and some of the disappointments of places to stay and beaches you came across! I'm glad you have now found a place to relax and enjoy yourselves again. I am taking some days off work to prepare for Christmas this week - you certainly must feel a long way from all that, geographically and emotionally! May all go well for the final leg of your journey. With lots of love, Julie x
