July 3rd, Friday
We woke up and left very early because there was a long ride ahead of us. Eight hours from Washington DC to Myrtle Beach SC.
We passed the time by watching Jaws. The perfect movie before going swimming in the ocean. I've seen it many times, but I always find something to wonder about it. Spielberg movies are just the best.
When we got to Myrtle Beach, at around 1, I was very excited. The weather was hot, the beach wasn't crowded, and everybody ran to the water.
The ocean was surprisingly warm. The waves were huge though, and there was a very strong current, that took us away whenever we fell. We fought against the waves and the force of the water, and we had so much fun! I really loved it, even though my mouth and nose was full with saltwater.
And so we enjoyed that full 15 minutes of it. Because that's when it started to rain. The storm came very suddenly. We wouldn't have had a problem with it if it wasn't for the lightning and thunder. So we ran for our stuff to retreat to the nearest parking lot. My bag, biology book and towel got soaked with sandy-muddy-rainwater, which was a pain, but I didn't bother with it then.
Once we got to the parking lot, we started dancing in the rain. It was so much fun, just not caring about anything. Blasting music and shouting from the top of our lungs.
We played volleyball and tomato in the rain. We were without chaperones, so it took them some time to come back with the buses. We all got in the bus, and went to the hotel, after the rain stopped. At least the saltwater was washed off of us.
It was only around 4 o'clock, and we ha so much time to do nothing. The original plan was to stay on the beach till 8.
So we went to walk around town with a few people, but there really wasn't anything to see. We were in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
At the end of the day, everybody ended up in the parking lot of te hotel, playing volleyball, talking, hanging out. It feels good, that I already made so many friends in 3 days.
