The sun was shining, and the water was a perfect 70 degrees, so many waded right in for a refreshing swim. Some participated in games of volleyball and Spikeball, while others chose to simply sit on the warm sand and enjoy each other’s company. A few even emerged with boogie boards and surfboards to try their luck on the waves. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the outing was a spectacular hit.
After a few hours the group began wrapping up and gradually making its way to the parking lot, where the buses were waiting to make the return trip to campus. Students all prayed Rosaries on the way back, and in a short time everyone was on campus and devouring a meal of pasta and chicken. Then it was off to St. Bernardine of Siena Library to prepare for today’s readings from Blaise Pascal, Jean-Henri Fabre, and St. Thomas Aquinas.
