Awesome! This word means worthy of awe or amazement. It is often used by the various surfers, "cali" girls, and teenagers of my state: California. It has also become hated by the many English teachers across the nation. This was definitely the perfect word to describe the perfect day.

Here is a picture of the coastline of Malta. Valletta (Maltese: Belt Valletta or Città Umillisima) is the capital city of Malta. The city has a population of 6,315 (official estimate for 2005). It is located in the central-eastern portion of the island of Malta, where Scebberras Hill juts out into the surrounding harbours. |

After about ten minutes of admiring the view, I started to feel sea sick and decided to head back in and take a seat. That was when I met some more friends all playing cards. There was Ramond, Matt, Joe, and Danny who were playing the worlds strangest game: push-up poker. They would play regular poker but instead of betting chips they would bet push-ups. By the end of the day each of them had done at least three hundred! Next there were Stephanie, Jessica, and Robert. They already knew each other from an Australia trip from two years before. Finally playing alongside them was John Floyd Greco Junior, my closest friend from the trip. We all joked around playing games like spoons, thirteen, and of course push-up poker.

Finally we were there! When we stepped outside the first thing we noticed was the water. It was as clear as crystal and had a similar hue to that of teal swimming pool water. We were all amazed that we could look down and see all of the ocean life at the sea floor. As soon of we finished our "delicious" lunch of cold pasta, old tuna, dry salad, and bread with frozen butter we rush straight out of the boat to get changed into our swim apparel. We then jumped into the cool water expecting it to be fresh, only to emerge trying to scrape of the salty taste. It still puzzles me how water so clear could be so salty. We swam to the opposite Island about one hundred-twenty meters away. We all sat on the rocky beach just enjoying each others company and the warmth of the sun. After we got tired of sitting around we all swam back. It was so hot that All it took to dry off completely was five minutes in the sun. We quickly climbed to the rendezvous point to retrieve our back packs. Quickly, we scurried to the ice-cream vendors to fetch some ice cream. It was delicious the Magnum brand ice cream was amazing. After enjoying my ice cream bar of chocolate, caramel deliciousness it was time to go. I quickly changed back into my normal clothes and got into our group. We quickly counted off as I struggled to remember that my number was thirty-three.
On the way back we took the direct route and I was completely lost in my thoughts. I watched the powerful wave’s crash into the shore and the boat. I stared out, head hanging over the rail, looking as if I was searching. I was lost in the view. What seemed to be only minutes turned out to be hours and suddenly the boat stopped? We had dropped anchor and there we were back at the harbor. We all quickly returned to our vans to return to the home stays. What an awesome end to an awesome day.
