Hey everyone! Abby, Kaidee, Annie, and Bridget here!
Today was the best day yet! We started out by waking up to the Barney Song, sung by Jake. It was a pleasant wake up...
A lot of us are missing food from home and luckily we got pancakes this morning for breakfast, and Becky is proud to announce that some people tried their pancakes with peanut butter! ...gross.
At 9 o'clock we started on our 30 minute journey to Antigua. It was bouncy. Once we arrived we split off into two groups to tour the city and one group to go on a coffee tour. We learned a lot about the city. Such as Mayan culture, churches, cemetaries, architecture, and art. After the tour we were treated to an amazing lunch at our tour guides restaurant. It was delicious!!! After lunch we split into shopping groups and explored the city. Our group has a common bond in spending all the money they had with them, especially on ponchos. While shopping, we got much entertainment from watching Dave P. get his tennis shoes shined by two little boys. The bus ride back was just as bumpy as the way there.
When we arrived back, Sanito (cook) had a fiesta waiting for us to celebrate Ana and Rachael's birthday. Filled with candy, balloons, streamers, breadsticks con queso, and PINATAS! The first one we knocked open was full of candy and confetti! The second was a little different. Instead of the confetti there was FLOUR! We had a HUGE, NEVERENDING, AMAZING, flour flight con flour! Everyone was covered! It covered every inch of our bodies and we looked 80-year-old men and women. See attached photo. The boys were gentlemen enough to let the girls shower while they started to clean up the mess.
We ended the night with devotions and prayed in small groups. Our group has really grown a close bond with eachother and we share a compassion to work hard, laugh often, and serve others.
And if you were wondering, everyone is feeling better and they're back on their feet.
