The Amazing Race

            Yesterday we participated in an adventure race. There were five activities that we had to complete. We ground sugar cane to make sugar cane juice and were forced to drink it in limited time, and yes, it was disgusting.  

We had to milk cows; the Lillies discovered their secret talent for milking cows. 

We rafted down a river through a course in tubes that were tied together.  

We learned steps from a Bachata dance. 

 Finally, we learned how to make authentic corn tortillas; they were amazing! This helped us to become a closer-knit team and work together. 

Today we headed to the school to work in the morning. We are finishing up the first layer of cement on the patio and will then partake in a school party. We are getting to know the students and even had time to go to class with them and play different games. This is our last night in the community and we are going out by having a big party with all the different homestay families.

Tomorrow we return to the Ecolodge and have a busy day of soccer, whitewater rafting and packing.
