Day Eighteen

I'd like to start out by saying that personally, I think today was a free day well spent.
I started the day in the usual manner and headed to El Sol. As usual, we worked on the subjunctive, specifically the past subjunctive. I still struggled to pronounce "ingenieria" which is rough as I have to say it every time I talk about my plans for the future and engineering in general. Although school proved to be interesting, the real fun began after classes.
A group of us headed over to Cafe La Paz for lunch. It was amazing, especially the tequenos. The eggplant sandwich was good too, it was just an overall good meal.
Once we were fed, we all piled into an Uber van and headed down to the beach. Here, we all put our names down on a list and waited patiently to be called. Luckily, I brought my Rubix cube to help the time pass. Finally, my name was called and I did it; I went paragliding. It was breathtaking; there are no words to describe how mesmerizing the ocean,coast and city looked from floating hundreds of feet above it. The best part, however, was the tricks the pilot did at the end. We twisted and turned as we sped through the air, and it honestly felt as though we were flying.
Never in my life would I have imagined that I would be paragliding in Peru, but now I can officially write it on my bucket list and check it off. (Side note: Paragliding in Peru sounds like a great title to a Magic Tree House book).
When we all finished our turns, we headed back home to relax and relish in the day's activities.
Adios!
