today was sooo fun! i got up and ran nice n' earrrrrrly, then went to morning worship session where we sang it up before learning about soularium. after that, we had some quiet time with the Lord before a bible study w/our small groups. all that was pretty sweeeet :]
then we had some lunchy lunch before our scavenger hunt. that's right, i said SCAVENGER HUNT! it had the weirdest things on it such as: find a person w/brown eyes and ask them what sound the pillsbury dough boy makes (and record it), find a married couple and take a photo of them kissing w/all of the team members in the background, ask someone for one of their socks, etc. SO MUCH FUN. we find out the winners tomorrow......drumroll plz...
then lindsey, kelsey, and i went shopping to buy lindsey a longboard (oh yes the gang is growing..) and to buy some toms. i got some purty yellow ones and lindsey got some striped ones. kelsey already has some bedazzled ones so she just assisted us. ;]
then we just kept riding around the boardwalk and poking our heads in and out of shops until we were late coming back to the hotel for the next thing. oopsie. we grabbed some graham crackas and grapies and stuff so we could get some yum yum on our way to the....place we went. haha it was like..the rocky coastline i guess? it was pretty and we climbed all over the rocks and i carved my name into some sandstone and there was a beach with a flock of seals on it that kelsey and i were naming.....it was thuper duper.
the "friends of the seals" (no joke, these environmentalists don't have very creative names) gave us some sass for wanting to go onto the beach. legally, we're allowed on there as long as we don't go past these certain marked out points - so that we don't disturb the seals. so grant, angela, and i were on our way down to the beach when these 2 old ladies like jumped us and gave us some tude for even wanting to reach the sand. we were like "uhh...." and had a pretty silly convo with them. in the end, we made a game plan to sneak on the beach later this week; but for now, we had to leave anyway so we just gave up on those dreams. those old ladies may have won the battle, but they did NOT win the war! ;P
next we went to mt soledad, which was BEAUTIFUL. there's this huge white cross at the top and the view is superb! we looked out at all of the city lights and had group prayer and the groups kept getting smaller as our prayer topics got more specific. it was a neat experience. in the end i had a pretty good chat w/kali that lasted for a good while.
on the way home, abe played his guitar and everyone in our van sang different songs - it was hilarious because in some of the songs, all of a sudden people just like stopped singing cause none of us knew the words. haha so we just like half hummed/half made up words until we got to the chorus that we all knew. soooooo funny. =]
tomorrow angela (who is black) and i are planning to go get prunes from the store. just cause. angela is awesome - she's not very hood, but i'm slowly bringin out her inner gangsta.
you know how i do.
now i'm back in me room, covered in sand and dirt, but ready for bed. ima run the boardwalk again tomarrah, so why shower right? right.
i think that's all that happened today....idk it's hard to capture every detail. but i'm getting closer to all of these people and it's great how we can encourage each other in our walks with the Lord =] very exciting!
gute nacht!
