Excursion day and last day of work

On Sunday, a group of five of us went back to the jobsite to finish the windows on the school. Actually, four of us started. Robert was sick at breakfast and I didn't think he was going so we left. He came out a few minutes later, got a taxi and joined us! The five of us then worked all morning to complete them and headed back. To get back, we walked into town and got three wheeled taxis to the hotel. If you have never ridden one before, it is like riding a dirt bike with a big covered seat in the back. Our two drivers decided to race each other down a dirt road. We have video we will post later.

The rest of the group either stayed at the hotel or went to a national park for hiking. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, although I am not sure Barb intended to go all the way to the top of the mountain. Nate gets the Mountain Goat award for running up and down the mountain--twice!

In the afternoon, we all went to a waterfall and river nearby. About 15 of us decided to go on a guided walk to caves behind the waterfall sounded interesting. What we didn't realize is that involved literally walking through the waterfall! It was an intense experience. I will try to post pictures later--we had a waterproof camera so we will see how it performed.

We had our final meeting and went over logistics for monday. The school administrator invited us to play volleyball and basketball with the kids, so a group of us went over. We lost a game of volleyball, but won at basketball.

We have had a great trip thus far and God has protected us and worked through us. We also have a great team!
