We woke up at 6am and watched the sun rise. Rachael and Angie went in to go to sleep in the cabin but I decided to stay on the beach. I just watched the waves crash in and then decided that I’d better pack and clean so I could spend the middle of the day in the sun.
I packed up most of my stuff, did laundry and talked to my parents on SKYPE. Angie was supposed to meet me at the lodge about 9:30…so around then I headed down to the cabin and woke her up by banging on their bedroom window.
We went to Ocean View Café and had the scrumptious white chocolate chip, ice cream pancakes. We went and to lay out afterwards and all took a lot of fun ocean/beach pictures. We all laughed a lot, making pyramids and launching each other into the waves.
I came back and did my lodge duty—the dishes. Everyone had decided that they would leave all of their dinner dishes from the previous night out so that didn’t make me a very happy camper. Anyway, I did the dishes and then showered to get ready for our farewell dinner. I wasn’t really pleased with my 22 dollar steak but it was nice for everyone to get dressed up and take pictures and spend some time in the same place. Lyn gave us our Life and Culture grades…lets just say I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Not horrible—but not at all what I was expecting. I was in a bad mood about that, and just leaving overall, but I snapped out of it while Rachael, JD, Mike and I walked back and stopped in town to get snacks and stuff for the evening.
We all just hung out in the cabin for the night. Mary, Angie and Courtney came down in addition to the regular crew and random people stopped by throughout the night. We looked at the stars and talked about what we’d taken away from the trip. After that, I cut JD’s hair. It was the first cut I’ve done alone and I think I did an alright job. Could have been better if he were more patient though… We all had a good nights sleep.
