Vacation Time!! Sanya here we come! (Day 71)

Teaching was a breeze today. We did store, so it went by pretty quickly. The kids were extra good because they saw my bag of "store" goodies and knew they got prizes at the end.

One of my students Maya is one of the slowest ones when it is time to change clothes. She also has very good English and is extremely sassy. I kept telling her to take her pants off, and now she likes to run around the classroom singing "take your pants off, take your pants off". Hopefully that phase ends while she's young.

Airport Fun: we successfully made it to the train station in Guangzhou without any problems; traveling with a group of five has definitely made a huge difference. Unfortunately when we got to the airport security every one of us got searched. They pulled out Hayden's football and looked at that for a few minutes, and then dumped everything in my backpack out across the table. Annoying. But the worst thing was that they confiscated Allison's peanut butter! Her...correction: OUR brand new jar of Skippy peanut butter. There was no way we were leaving our precious PB there! Brooke marched right back in and grabbed it, and asked if we could eat it right there and then. They made her trade her boarding pass for it :P so as long as we brought it back we could eat it...Luckily Brooke had a random little spoon in her bag from the bakery we had just stopped at. For some reason they didn't take Brittany's PB, and she had eaten some of it already, so we stuffed as much as we could into her jar, and then pulled out the bread we were going to make sandwiches with and loaded the PB on nice and thick. We emptied the entire jar, and only made 4 sandwiches. We probably could have made at least twice that many with the amount of PB that was on those sandwiches. We traded back the empty jar for the ticket with our sticky fingers and walked to our plane :P It was pretty hilarious.

Waiting for our bus to the train station. 
Britt on the train ;P Needless to say we had an enjoyable time haha (Mainly because it was a bullet train not a nasty regular train)
Getting my bag searched :/

Devouring our Peanut Butter in security
Took a little nap on the plane, and then we were there. It was perfect weather just warm enough with a slight breeze.
We took a bus to our hostel and went down to the beach. The water was warm and felt so good. Some other people from our groups have raved about the Dolphin Bar here in Sanya. It is American food, and it is dang good. They had cheaper prices later, so we went back for a little midnight snack and then crashed at our hostel.
