Sara and Sami Took a Tumble. (Day 5)

Hey guys! It’s the end of Day 5 in Cape Eleuthera and all is well. The day was essentially our day off. Instead of our typical 6 am wake-up call and 6:30 workout, we all slept-in, some until 9 30. Breakfast was optional today and consisted of granola, trail mix, and cornflakes. We all got to lay out in the sun in between our one-on-one conversations with Wes. It was after these conversations that most of us were able to connect to the real world with a phone call home. Lunch consisted of leftovers but they called it “Brunch” because there were noodles and eggs. We shoveled food into our mouths in preparation for our 7 mile journey to Plum Creek (a beach with the clearest water we’ve ever seen). The weather switched from boiling hot on our ride there to pouring pins and needles while we snorkeled and then finally, dark and windy on the way home. Although there were a few small crashes on the way to the beach, once we were there, we had a blast and filled our tummies with more delicious trail mix that Wes so kindly carried during the 7 mile journey. Some reported that they saw a Barracuda and one student started to conquer her fear of fish. Once we returned home, we showered before sharing our highs and lows of the day. Dinner was chicken, rice, beans, and of course, salad. After dinner, we had more free time (the entire night off) where some students watched the Packers narrowly beat the Giants while others started the large amount of reading assigned tonight. That’s all for now; tomorrow you will be hearing from Sami and Nick, our new caciques.

See you guys soon!!

Love,
Ryan and Rebecca.
