The other night as I was sitting in Jorge’s mom’s craft stand with her, his dad brought over a coconut that I drank the water right out of. Apparently it has a great balance of glucose and electrolytes to make it one of the best rehydration drinks.
On Saturday, Denise and I took a day to ourselves and went to Ayampe (a little village South of here that’s famous for Corviche), walked an hour down the highway to Las Tunas then a ways along the beach. Along the way, we stopped at a nice little restaurant on the beach to have Bolones de Verde and Patacones. On Sunday, the 3 of us went down to the little aquarium/ rescue centre at Valdivia and then for a bit to Montanita (the hippie town).
Saturday night, I attended the fire department’s weekly meeting and I participated in their aquatic rescue practice on Monday and rope rescue practice yesterday (we rode on top of the fire truck to get to a trail leading down to a beautiful beach where we rappelled down a 30m sea cliff then jogged for 45minutes back to town!).
On Tuesday, Denise and Jorge and I all went to a little town up in the cloud forest to paint the school there and give the students some school supplies and gifts that our aunt had sent down with me. With help from the locals, we painted one of the buildings salmon pink on the outside and inside, which really brightened it up! That evening, we went back to Las Tunas to make a campfire and roast marshmallows :) Some people we had met from Penticton also joined us for smores.
Last night a bunch of people came over for sushi which proved difficult to make, but definitely delicious!
