We left Granada on Friday to go to San Juan del Sur. It is on the Pacific ocean. We stayed at a hotel call Bahia Azul. It had a green parrot on the roof. Then we visited a beautiful beach called Playa Hermosa.
We found fast snails, sand dollars, hermit crabs and a surfer!
That was my first time swimming in the Pacific ocean!
I also got to watch the sunset and drink a red Fanta.
The next day we drove to Popoyo.
We stayed at The Barrel Hostel and really liked it. We walked a long time but when we got to the end we saw a tide pool. In the tide pool we saw sea urchins, Sergeant Major fish, starfish, and sea hares.
On the beach we saw several turtles that were dead and a puffer fish. The vultures were already eating them and helping to clean up the beach.
I feel so sad about the turtle and puffer. We also saw lots of shells on the beach. -Riley
