Wednesday, October 30
In the morning we ended up waking up at noon. When we were ready we went to the popcorn beach. The popcorn is technically coral that is broken, and we also found shells and sea glass. Sea glass is glass that was tumbled around in the ocean and then was washed to shore. After the popcorn beach we went to another beach. At the beach, we played in the water. Later we left to go dry off. After we dryed off we went to a pizza place and then we went home.

Today we ate breakfast in the morning then we went to a cheese museum. The goats produce 3 and ½ liters of milk every day. That is a lot of milk for a goat. Then we went to a place to eat the goat cheese. I didn’t like it. Then we went to a black sand beach, then we went to a shop. It selled mostly souvenirs. Later we went to a shop that had souvenirs too. Then we went to the same pizza place as yesterday.

Today we went to eat. After that we played at the beach for a very long time then we got ice cream. Then we went to a park. Eilidh called it a pumpkin park because it had things that looked like pumpkins. After that we went to a place and learned about aloe, their gel is transparent and they can pick leafs from a plant for 40 years. Then we went home.
Eilidh likes green beans.
I ate a lot of pizza for supper.

Today we ate breakfast then we went to pack our stuff. Then we went to the ferry to Lanzarote I enjoyed the ferry, my favorite thing to do on a ferry is walk. When we left the ferry we drove for 1 hour. Then we explored the house then we played at the beach. Then we went to sleep at home.

Thanks, Noah, for telling about your travels. It sounds like a fun trip.
Looks and sounds like you are having a great time! And staying warmer than we are.
Looking forward to reading more of your blog, Noah! ❤️
Noah, I wouldn’t like goat cheese, either. The beach with black sand, though, I would like. I’m looking forward to reading your next entry!
