As our trip started to reach an end, we started to traverse more of the Eleuthera Island School embracing more of its history. This morning we got up, right before the morning sun to enjoy the nice, refreshing ocean breeze during our bike ride. Our first destination was Sunrise Beach where we enjoyed a captivating view of the sunrise. We stopped to appreciate the scenery as well as walking through the soft sand, bringing us at ease. The sound of the waves crashing calmly into the rocks brought us comfort and relief. We made a stop at an abandoned resort. The resort used to be a tourist attraction, until it had to close down due to many complications with the law. The resort, now taken by nature, is an accurate representation of the natural beauty of the Bahamas. After we returned to the dorms we stopped by the dining hall to have a fulfilling meal for breakfast to energize ourselves, to prepare for our next group activity.
An ever changing island
For now it’s ours, we play in the water and sand
Enjoying the island fun.
Sunburnt but I don’t care now
It will fade with time the memories will stay
Writing poems on a sunny day.
Simple coconut dreams
Water and flesh so sweet tilt back to drink
I’m in coconut heaven.
Time to clean up the dorms
Packing sand filled clothes in neat rows
Don’t leave a trace.
Many new things to see
Treasures that were rare to us
Line our suitcases and fill bags.
Marina restaurant dinner
The feeling now familiar smiles shine bright
Laughing with our new friends.
Bonfire by the big blue sea
Reflecting on what this week meant to me
Memories kept forever.
