We woke up early to pack up and be ready for the bus to pick us up at 10:30. A group headed into town to experience market day, several bargains were found, including a couple of hammocks.
Father Don, Ann and Anne met with ALL of our scholarship students and their parents. Some of them had to get up at 3:00 am to take the bus into town from the furthest villages. They discussed expectations and introduced them to Olive, our new scholarship coordinator.
We hit the road right at 10:30 for the bus ride to Independence. From there we took a quick water taxi ride to the beautiful village of Placencia. We relaxed all day, enjoying calm water, warm breezes and sunshine. We were sorry to be missing the cold weather at home, NOT!
The highlight of the day was celebrating Mass together on the beach. Our "bread" was a tortilla, a perfect end to a wonderful week.
