Day 7

Day 7.  Fun in the sun and shopping 

On day 7 of therapy abroad in Puerto Rico, students enjoyed a free day in which they got the opportunity to go to two beautiful beaches in Rincon, Puerto Rico and did some shopping at the Mayaguez Mall. Students departed at 11am to enjoy the sunny day at Villa Confresi where there was a beautiful beach access and students and staff were able to get in the ocean, play racquetball, and sunbathe. Students then had a delicious lunch at Villa Confresi with an ocean view. The students then moved to Lala beach to enjoy the sunset on the beach and also did some souvenir shopping. On the way back to Mayaguez students were able to view a parade occuring in the city of Rincon with horses, bulls, classic cars, tractors and a lot of locals having a good time with festive music and dancing. It was a great experience to see the different customs and activities that occur in different places. Some students enjoyed a day full of shopping at the Mayaguez mall and even got to take pictures with Santa! After a long day, students went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. - Alondra Espinoza
