Aloha!!!

We started our first day with a good breakfast in our great hotel, right in front of the beach. The cruise we went on was beautiful and we saw a log of fish. The sun was shining and the guides were funny and cool.

Most of the day was spent on the beach, which was an awesome start of the week! We all got the surfing and we all enjoyed it even though most of us fell and had some trouble standing on the board.

We also played soccer and volleyball while we were waiting for our turn to surf. The teams were girls and South Americans against Europeans, and it was very fun. The Hawaiian people, culture and climate fit us perfectly. We are in paradise!

We all learned ALOHA, Mahalo (Thanks), and Aloha kakahiaka (good morning) and we use them as much as we can J We all love the life style of hang loose!

We had free time to discover the culture and city by our own and get to know each other better. Tomorrow we are going to wear our new bikinis and of course we will remember the necessary sunscreen.

Tonight we had an awesome dinner, and we got to see the international market place after eating.

We are all so excited about the rest of the week!!!
