Today was spent relaxing and getting in some much needed sun and water. Half the group went on a water taxi to a nearby surfing beach. They swam in the ocean and then huddled under a covering when it rained.
The others packed up the clothing bought for the orphans and street children cared for at Los Quinchos, where we are headed on Sunday after leaving San Juan del Sur. Then we ate a fabulous lunch at Pelican Eyes, the fancy resort hotel just up the street, and swam in two of their three infinity pools. Oh, and there were margaritas.
The view from Pelican Eyes (rewarded after climbing many many stairs, the result of which is a desire to fling oneself into the pool) was incredible!
We dined with the wonderful folks from Libros para Niños, whom you will hear all about tomorrow. Eduardo gave us a great, dynamic presentation introducing their work, and are thrilled by his enthusiasm and his ideas. They are applicable in more countries than this one.
The book festival is tomorrow, and we're as ready as we'll ever be!
Hello Caitlin et al,
ReplyDeleteI live vicariously through you. It's great you're posting the trip! Please give my regards to Ann Weeks (I took 640, Fall '07), Gail Gleeson, Lindsey E., and Deanna S. I was in various classes with them. It's in the 20's and 30's here as we prepare for inauguration.
