Keppel Island

 Yesterday (Saturday) we went out to Keppel Island.  It was one of the International girls' last weekend here, so she wanted to do something special.  Keppel Island is about a 40 minute drive northeast, then a 25 minute boat ride out to the island.  The island was absolutely beautiful!!  A group of about 20 International students came, so it was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone!  We kind of had to hike through a bunch of rocks, but once we got past them, this is what we found :) 

 Beautiful Right?



We spent the whole day just laying out, snorkeling, and kicking a soccer ball around.  They also had an American football, which no one knew how to throw the correct way, so I showed those boys how it was done :) haha  Some of the boys were throwing it like a "footy" ball, which is what they call rugby here.  I very firmly said that if they were going to play with an American football they must throw it like one :)  Now here are just some pictures of a bunch of us on the island.  The people in the picture are all the people I hang out with the most.  Katie, Maryables, and Chiria from the states, then we have Matti and Bianca from Germany, Anders from Norway, and Elina and Malin from Sweden!

After the island, despite of everyone being tired, Silvya the girl who is leaving, who is from Denmark, wanted to go out.  So we ate, showered and got ready!!
