Back to Work

Sarah: Happy Monday everyone! Well here’s the story. Yesterday we took the day of rest to heart and pretty much did just that. We were able to download a podcast from Twin Lakes Church in Aptos, CA, which was one of the churches we attended while we were living near Santa Cruz. The church that we actually attended most frequently doesn’t have the capability for podcasts yet, but we were thankful for the message we got to hear. And after that, rest we did! David enjoyed a day full of watching football games, and I don’t think either one of us moved around much during the day.

So today being Monday, it was back to work for us. :) One of our tasks for being here is to obtain a satellite reading of each of the trails on GPS, so to start off our workday we went on a hike. It was beautiful! We went on the trail Las Cataratas (the waterfalls) and it was a great experience. The trails lead us through the forest in a way that it felt like we were new explorers finding our way. We crossed the river a few times, across logs and metal bridges that swayed slightly. And on the steep parts there were ropes for us to grab on. Finally we rounded a corner and saw the spectacular sight of the waterfall, and with all the rain we’ve been getting, it was quite a powerful sight. Enjoy the pics. And as a sidenote, I just realized that if you click on the pictures you can enlarge them--so you should go back and check out those macaws close up if you haven't already.
