Day 7: Fun Day at the Waterfall!

Hey families!

At 7AM today we started off the day waking everyone up with some nice loud knocking on doors (and walls). Everyone started off very energized because of this. At 8AM for breakfast, we had scrambled eggs with sausage, bread, and fruit. At 8:30 AM we had our mental warm-up. For today’s mental warmup, we played Mafia which consists of one doctor, one detective, one mafia member (the murderer), and one baker (we added the baker just to have an extra job in the game, all the baker does is make snacks and choose who they want to give the snacks to during each round). At 9 AM we boarded the bus to go to a market so we could buy something small for the hike like water and snacks. After the market, we started heading to the diner so we could start the hike for the waterfall. Once we reached the diner everyone had the chance to change their clothes so we could get wet at the waterfall. After everyone changed we started our short hike slowly and carefully to ensure everyone’s safety. Once we reached the waterfall we were allowed to stand in the water as long as it was knee-deep and along the edge because the water was too deep to swim in and whoever didn’t want to get wet was allowed to sit on the side on some rocks away from the water. Once it reached close to 12PM we took some pictures and then started our hike back to the diner.

At lunch, we had multiple different options such as rice and beans, casados, rice with chicken fajitas, etc. We then got back on the bus and made our way back to the supermarket just in case anyone wanted any snacks for the base house. On our way home we listened to calming music and interacted with each other. We then had free time to do whatever we pleased for about an hour in which some of us chose to have a water fight. After the super fun water fight, at 6 pm we made our way to dinner and ate rice with meat stew. At 7 pm we had our usual nightly meeting where we discussed our activities for the next day.

See you soon!
