Last week the island had a very important visitor. One of the policies of the president is to go to the different parts of Colombia to look what can be improved. Last week he was in San Andres. Everywhere you looked, you saw soldiers and the streets were closed.
Sunday I went freediving. Freediving is diving as deep as you can without extra oxigin. It's a sport that needs a lot of practice and patience. You have to get used to the pressure and need to learn to controle your breathing. San Andres is the perfect place to do that with its beautifull underwaterworld.
On monday we went to the surfclub. The school sponsored so it was a lot cheaper. We could choose what we wanted to do, I chose jetski and windsurfing.
The people of the island are really proud to live here. I already said that the island is a beautiful place, but it needs an effort to keep it that way. Tuesday we did our part to improve the environment and cleaned the beach.
Wednesday was the day where we had extra attention for the community. We went to prison with our class. The visit was really interesting and chocking at the same time. I think it's really good that the school does this. It's good for young people to see and hear from the people who went the wrong way where they will end up if they hang out with the wrong people.
I had my first class of salsa. It's a really nice dance, but also really hard. There are a lot of quick steps, so you have to pay attention on that, and you also have to make sure that your hips go along with your feet. I tell you, it's not easy.
I always wanted to learn kitesurfing. This week I finally did it. First I had some doubts because people told me it's a dangerous sport, anyway I tried it and I love it.
Next week it's vacation, I'll let you know next time how it went.
