We made it to the beach!

Today we went on a big long train with all of these stops just to get to a cool beach.  We were trying to get to a village called Caldes de Estrac which SHOULD be about a 50 minute train ride total.  But the first train didn’t go all the way there (even though we thought it did) and we had to get off and transfer and then it took FOREVER for the other train to come!!  It was frustrating because we had already passed tons of other nice beaches!  When we finally got to the beach we went straight into the water.  The waves were only sort of big! I would run with my eyes closed into the water but sometimes I would jump too early or late and fall into the water.  I found a bamboo stick that I played with the whole time. I pretended I was a dog and my mom would throw it into the water for me and I would doggy paddle over and put it in my mouth and bring it back to her.  I would also play a game where I had to put the stick in the ground everytime a wave touched me. Then my dad and I made a sand castle to fill in with water. It didn’t work out so well so then we made a volcano which we destroyed. After playing at the beach we walked around the village looking for somewhere to eat and found a place right on the water.  When we went there we got fried eggs and patatas bravas.  The fried eggs weren’t that good. I also got an orange Schwepps to drink.  After that we went to explore the town and look for ice cream but we ended up finding the best ice cream right back where we started at the beach.  I got stracciatella flavor.  Then we went back on the train around 8 o'clock and when we got home it was about time to go to bed.
