A day at the beach



On Sunday we headed back to the coast, only this time we literally went to the coast! Following a stop in San Felipe for some basketball (of course!) we got back on the bus and headed due west to the Pacific coast of Guatemala and a beach town called Champerico.

The Charles brothers and Max prepare for impact.


This is one of the more fun excursions on the trip because we essentially take over a restaurant that is located on the beach and spend the afternoon eating seafood, playing in the ocean and this year, horseback riding (for some of us anyway).

Things were a bit different this year at the beach though. For those of you familiar with our annual pilgrimage, you'll notice from the top photo that the restaurant seems like it's really far away from the actual ocean and that's because, well it is. Due to storms during previous years and to a new port being built north of Champerico, the water and tides have really changed. 
Still, despite the changes, everyone seemed to have a great time as the pictures on today's blog post show.

A bit of home!

Just like at Thanksgiving there was the adult's table...
And the kid's table.



Nigel rides a horse!
Alec and Malik are ready to round 'em up!
