Sancastles at the beach

IB Hosts Annual Sandcastles Event
By Vianney Casas




Where were you two weeks ago? Where you partying? Chilling at home? Or were you at the beach admiring the beautiful jaw-dropping sand castles? If you weren’t able to go, you must’ve felt like you were the only person left in the planet, and that’s because almost EVERY person in San Diego, and in all parts of the country went. They have been going for years; it has become a famous tradition and a must on their summer list. So what was this year’s Sand Castles like? Let me break it down for you.


The sun woke up early, just as the people got ready their beach balls, cameras, bikinis, beach towels, and got ready for a day full of fun. Unfortunately, some were not able to reach the beach since the line was so long they couldn’t even try getting to it. So what was the secret of those who could actually get to the beach? “Just get there as early as you can if you don’t want any stress” would be their advice. When they got there, they’ve must have felt regret for even showing up. The beach was packed with people from all over the country. Wherever they looked they would find people, which would make them think the event was called “People” instead of “Sand Castles”. If that wasn’t enough, the streets which were filled with stands selling food, jewelry and doing body art were also packed with cars and people. It was also very hot, too hot probably and the tension and stress from all the kids missing, made it seem hotter. “Why did I come here again?” people must have asked themselves. But once they made their way through all the people, and got to what they’d been there for in the first place it was all right. Seeing people making sand castles and admiring the different classifications such as sea creatures and famous monuments suddenly made them forget about all the moms crying for their kids, all the people bumping into them wherever they walked, and the burning hot weather. Suddenly the air got filled with music and all their eyes could see were people playing volleyball, laughing and taking pictures with friends and families, getting a tan or observing the amazing creations made of sand. Sounds like the perfect summer day doesn’t it?
