Mexico Mission - Day 7...Guadalupe River

Friday, June 27

Slept til 8:00 this morning--YEAH!!!! After a McDonald's breakfast we drove to the Guadalupe River, rented tubes and stepped foot into the frigid waters of the spring-fed river. Some of the "kids" (including Ted and Roger) bought water cannons, just in case some of us didn't get wet enough! <:o Thanks, guys. Parts of the river were slow and relaxing and provided a much needed respite from the past week of labor in the hot sun. However, there were areas that required some maneuvering to stay in the flow, and even a few rapids to conquer. We had a great time and it was over way too soon. The prospects of the long drive home in the van were looming large. After all our "together time", the discussions on this drive were a little deeper and more meaningful than those of seven days ago. We managed to take turns stretching out and getting some sleep and arrived safely home around 11:00 p.m.



True to our vow of knowing more Spanish before our next trip, some of us have already enrolled in a conversational Spanish class at TCC in the Fall. Hasta la vista!
