Day 5

Day 5: The Water Fall

                In thy break of morning light, student researchers battle the burdens of their projects!! First plus of the day was that internet was alive and kicking! We were all able to make much more progress than previous days and many of the students completed their second objective; it honestly felt rewarding!

Marching on, we all sang “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round” on the tractor ride to our hiking location; we actually didn’t, we’re just kiddingJ. We actually had an awesome tractor ride. Carlos, our driver, was the man. He rocked it. When we reached our destination, we all had to let our inner Indiana Jones shine and start the hike deep into the rain forest. Honestly, we loved the hike. We had funny moments where we fell in the mud or kind of slipped in some water, but overall it was a fantastic experience. The best part by far, the number one activity was swimming in the waterfall. We jumped in and then right back out because it was cold, and I mean real cold. We took some great pictures since where all professionals models; we all rocked awesome poses. We joke around too muchJ. Overall, the tractor ride, the hike, and the swim we just terrific; it’s an experience that’ll be forever ingrained in our memory.

SO after the waterfall we rode the tractor to aracellies, and again Carlos came in clutch!! He backed up a tractor with a trailer down an very narrow path… He rocked it! At aracellies we had Caribbean chicken, rice and beans, plantain chips, and starfruit juice. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!! After dinner we had a couple matchbox riddles and learned that we kind of suck and failed miserably! LOL!! We really appreciate the opportunity and our parents support.

Buenas Noches!
