More work, more play

Day 2 at the Cloud Forest School turned out to be a short one. Due to construction on the roads, we had to leave right after lunch for our afternoon activity.

The morning featured work on our bathroom in the woods. We spent most of it digging up land for a pipe and burying it about five inches underground. We covered a large area in a short amount of time, given that the entire group was working on the same project. After we finished that assignment, we didn't have much to do. We helped a bit but headed out for lunch.

We arrived to meet our horses early in the afternoon, dropping off a young girl from the school who would end up riding with us. In fact, her family owns the business. We rode our horses about 30 minutes down a steep incline before landing down near a river. By the river were two hot spring pools. They were not as warm as Trini and I remember them to be, but they were warm enough, and they allowed us to snap some neat pictures. After we changed, we headed back to our horses to climb out of the valley - much faster than we traveled down. Waiting for us at the house was the family with its homemade cake and fresh coffee, just like we have had in the past. The day was made even more special when our students joined the family's children for some soccer in the driveway. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

We then took taxis back to our homestays, and now we will enjoy some family time once again.

While you wait for some 265 photos from today to upload, please enjoy this one from the hot spring.
