A day in Puerto Santa Maria

By James Atkinson, Hunter Frank, Hudson Farren, Mason Harris and David Wieand

We woke up in the hotel, got ready and began to head down to eat breakfast. We ran into some soccer players on the way down. At the hotel restaurant, they had a really hearty and big breakfast with toast, cheese, ham, cereal, milk and other tasty foods. After breakfast we gathered for our activity in the lobby with our entire group.

For the activity we took a bus to one part of the city. We split up into two groups and started the tour of the old parts of the city. We learned about the history of Puerto de Santa Maria and some old buildings and churches. We went into one very old and big church just before a service started. After walking around a little more we went to a little market with streetvendors for about 15 minutes. Then we got back on the bus to go to the hotel.

When we arrived at the hotel we had time to go to the beach and spend some time with the group. We went to lunch at a local pizza place. It took a while for us to get out food because of the big group the we brought in. We pretty much ordered cheese pizza and it was really good. After that we either sunbathed on the beach or we walked around the city. Then, we met back at the hotel and got on the bus to leave for Seville.

The ride home seemed shorter than the first one because everyone fell asleep. We arrived somewhere outside the old city and walked to the Starbucks that we met at before the trip. Then, everyone went back to their apartments and slept, because we were all tired.

At 9:00pm we woke up from our nap and ate dinner. Then we went out and met up with everyone and went around the city until 11:00pm. We all went home so we would be home before 11:30pm. Finally, we went to sleep.
