Splish Splash and extra recess!

After yesterday’s zip lining, today’s rappelling was much easy to overcome our fears with. Well, that is if you didn’t look down on the first one which was 165 feet up. The hardest part was getting over that first edge and pushing off with the “frog” jumps. What a blast though to jump through the waterfalls! The weather was perfect!

This afternoon we stopped by a small school and donated supplies. The CR kids introduced themselves in English and we all introduced ourselves in Spanish. This was followed by multiple questions from both sides, then a rousing soccer match. Some of the students were so good at soccer that they would definitely be first string on any team in the USA…they had unbelievable moves! Seeing the school made me truly appreciate the conditions that I work in at my school.

Homeward bound tomorrow – sad to see this trip end, but I will treasure the wonderful memories!
