From Miss Amy's Lovelies.
Our day started with a typical breakfast: rice and beans, fruit, cereal, etc. We headed to the Parish House in Guacimo to finish our beautiful garden. We began by watering the plants we planted yesterday and finished bordering the playground. Before Jonathan came, we sang camp songs and mixed fertilizer in the remaining beds. Jonathan arrived at about 10:00 with lots of pretty flowers and cool trees. We also collected any debris (including tons of medicine bottles and shards, plastic candy wrappers and Andrew's underwear, toothbrush, high heel, and comb). When the garden was completed (HOORAY!), we ate a lunch of rice mixed with beef, yummy coconut balls, slaw, and delicious plantains. Then we went to the church down the road to plant the excess flowers around the sanctuary. Meanwhile, Norma painted Kate and Kaelyn's fingernails excellently. She has promised to do the rest of the girls nails tomorrow. When we got back to Earth, we showered and had plenty of exploration time before dinner. Many enjoyed ice cream treats and chips from the snack counter. We met up with Donna Osborne and Liza who is the Costa Rican diocesan representative and talked to the them. Dinner was chicken or beef, rice and beans (of course), potatoes and fruit. Then we made our way to Germania for a end of week celebration hosted by the locals. We played musical chairs (video to be posted soon) and did relays. Then some of the older girls performed a cultural dance to express their gratitude. Pedro and Armando thanked us graciously for spending time with their youth. Lots and lots of pictures were taken and our bus moved out. We shared Pows and Wows at Earth and reflected upon our work week. THE END. No more work. Buenos noches.
Love Sara, Kate, Andrew and Miss Amy (who's currently sleep deprived to the point of hallucinating) Miss Amy did not approve this message :)
