We made it back to Huehue this afternoon with no problems. The roads were fairly clear and the driving was smooth. Halfway back we stopped at a really cool suspension bridge and ate lunch. Most everyone walked out onto the suspension bridge. Even those of us scared of heights like Bri, Kelsey and I. Again, this is something I could describe to you but it won't give it justice. You will just have to ask the students to see the pictures.
When we got back to Huehue we changed into our swimsuits and got back into the trucks to drive an hour to a Place where they have hot springs. The drive was not the best but most of us made it fun. It was raining horribly and we were all getting soaked. Bri, Hilary and myself almost lost the tarp at one point, but we grabbed it at the last minute.
When we got to the hot springs most if us were a little shocked by what we saw, but once in the "pool" it was amazing and exactly what we all needed. It was so hot and we had not had any hot water in the last three days. We lounged in the springs for about an hour or so completely relaxed and hung out. Near the end of our time a white woman walked up to us and started talking to us in English. She told us she was working for the Peacecorps and had just gotten to Guatemala. She is finishing up her last year here. It was cool seeing and talking to an American because she was our first non-group member we had seen and talked to fro the states.
Tomorrow we are going to visit a sheep farmer and learn about what is going with all of that and how it is helping the economy, his families economics and the coffee farm in Agua Dulce. After that we will go to the Mayan Ruins and see a cool part of history.
