Zip lining adventure through the rain forest!

HOLA/HELLO!!

Debbie here signing in for the day. It is 5:30 p.m. here and we just returned from an amazing day of adventure and bonding! We survived zip lining across the rivers and valleys to and fro with an incredible view. To celebrate our success, we are all gathered here at the Chilamate Rain Forest Eco Lodge to regroup before we return home to our home-stay families. We are safe and content and looking forward to returning home to share our fantabulous stories! All of you, both families and friends, we speak of you daily and hold you close to our hearts!! Now, Jean will continue with her highlights of the day!

What a day! We started off with our service work in our 3 respective schools and then moved on to my most challenging aspect of the trip-- the Canopy Tour-- translation-- zip line-- translation-- fear, tears, more fear, and lots of encouragement from the group and great guides to help all of us through-- some more than others-- ie: me. But, I did it, even though I was ready to ford the river back to the beginning after the 2nd section. BTW-- we had, I think, 10 sections-- half way through it felt like forever for me.... Adam and a few others were daring and took great photos and videos that will be shared when we return to the states-

gotta run-- heading back to our homestay families-- we all have so many humbling experiences to share-- but I do not recommend anyone other than our group to sit with us on the trip back-- we have learned what basics really are-- Lots of Love to all families-- thank you for allowing us to have this experience.
