By Megan Mahoney

Today Hope and Meg woke up at 7:00 and went on a run and went to the workout room. David and Henry came too…William bailed….while everyone else slept. Then we had a delicious nuffett breakfast of fruit, muffins, rice, beans, etc. And, the sky cleared up enough so we could see the volcano. We hearad that some man had been there since Friday and this was the first time that hehad seen the volcano over the past couple of days. After breakfast we went to the store and bought Red Bull…did I mention we’d already had coffee? Then we all went swimming in the hot springs. Which felt AMAZING!!! Lastly, we showered, packed and made more coffee and headed back to BVS. That night we had the farewell party at Vicki’s house. We all enjoyed eating a common El Salvadoran food called papusas which are corn tortillas filled with cheese. After that we all hung out outside and played ping pong. Vicki gave everybody really cute bracelets and Guga gave us all Costa Rica flags. Also, AnaCa gave us all Blue Valley t-shirts that everybody signed. It was a great night. I’m so sad that we leave tomorrow!
