Emmanuel's Visit: Day 7
This aftertoon Emmanuel and I walked to the beach by my house on the Mesa. We brought paddle ball, vollyball, and buggy boards. By the time we got down to the sand we were already sweaty because of all the steps and the blazing sun beaming on our backs. Straight away we jumped in the ocean, diving under the refreshing waves. Halfway through, we went back to shore and gathered the boogie boards, and once again dissapeared under the waves. An hour later, numb and tired, we walked back to my house. We both rinsed off and got dressed in biking clothes. I let Emmanuel borrow my Mom's bike and helmet while I used my brand new mountain bike for Santa Barbara Middle School. I first showed Emmanuel around my neiborhood, showing him all my favorite spots. We then biked to the Dougles Family Preserve which happened to be only a few blocks away. We spent about and hour there, going off intense jumps and followig the never-ending trails.
I'm glad I got the chance to spend a week with Emmanuel and hope to see him again soon.
