One Day of Tourism

What is a Tourist? A tourist is a person who moves from their usual environment to another geographical point, being absent from their usual place of residence more than 24 hours and making one obernight stay in the other geographic point. That is the profesional definition, in my opinion being a tourist is simply not knowing somewhere and get to explore it.

My friends and I are very curious and tell them about the idea of becoming tourist and explore a beach that we had never visited (Crash Boat) in Aguadilla. I ask them "You want to explore?" and they said "Yes". We plan everything, the next day we left early for our journey. During the car ride we were singing and asking questions between us on the new place, we were very exited as we always wanted to go to this beach. We stopped on Isabela in a "Wallgreens" to buy everything we needed: snacks, ice, candy, chips and other things for get fun.

We got to Aguadilla and do not know the exact location of the beach so chooses ask a man riding a bicycle "where is Crash Boat?" and answered me: "After the traffic light you will find a slope, ride it and there is Crash Boat". How exciting was that slope down and ser that beautiful beach, my friends began to sream "Wow". It was very exciting to see that beautiful view of the beach. When we parked down everything and settled under the palm and we were looking at that beach and 5 minutes was something magical. We all ran to the bridge and we hit the bridge was an incredible experience.

After spending several hours watching I realized that life is a little different to the other side of the island. People have a different accent and act differently. I had the opportunity to talk to the man who worked in the parking lot and told me how the beach looks from their point of view. He said:"There are always different people, black, white, skinny or fat like you (referring to me) years working here and what we can assure is that they all come with the same purpose....HAVE A GOOD TIME". That man caught my attention because I could see the beach as seem from my point of view and as tourist sees a person is exposed to them every day.

As we all know nothing is for eternal and unfortunately it was time to leave. We  were very excited but also a little tired because got along all day exploring on the beach. We went to the beach because it was late and we were far from our homes. On the way back some fell asleep except me, because im drived. Along the way reflect on tourism and come to the conclusion that you can be a tourist anywere you only need to be as a child and be curious about everything around.
