Jk. Today we got to go ziplining over Lake Atitlan and through the mountains of Guatemala. We saw monkeys, waterfalls, and volcanoes. Morgan broke a swing while walking over a river but don't worry, she was harnessed in. Regardless of the fact that Sara did not have a back on her shoes, she managed to keep both of them on while ziplining. After that, we headed to the Eagles' Nest Orphanage and conducted a basketball clinic with the children and Laurel did a great job of sharing her testimony with the kids. They were very appreciative of our time and all the little gifts they received. Maison and Sara taught passing and dribbling, Laurel and Georgia taught some shot fakes, Morgan and Evans did lay ups with the kids and Margaret and I did shooting drills and attempted to teach them how to play knockout. We ate spaghetti at the orphanage and then got back in the car to go shop at Antigua. On our way there we were stopped for about an hour due to teachers protesting because they were not getting paid. After finally getting through the road we went about two hours in the car to get to Antigua. We broke up into several groups and started to shop. We all got a bunch of awesome stuff that you will see when we get home. We came back to Telma's and ate another delicious dinner. We presented Betty with shirts and basketballs to take to her orphanage/school and she was very appreciative of them. After we said our goodbyes to her we played show and tell with all of our purchases, had our last team pow-wow, and then started to pack. Although we are not ready to come back home due to the fact that we have had a great time, we have to get up in 5 hours. Hasta manana.
Keavy.....and Maison supervised but clearly did not write this blog......again.
