Hello Everybody. Today after a looonnnnnggggggg week of hard work, it was finally our fun day! We started off by waking up at 6am…. fun. We then had breakfast at 6:30; fruit and conchas. We then had a very VERY long bus drive to Caterina where we were all able to buy souvenirs. Maybe if you’re lucky, one of your glimpsers got you something special 😉 After this we had another bus drive to The Monkey Hut, there were no Monkeys, besides Alex. For lunch we all either had the option of burgers, chicken, or salad. After lunch we were able to join in for some water activities at the Lagoon where ALEX LOST SOMEONE’S GOPRO. #typicalalex We sent out a search party for the precious lost cargo, where thankfully the scuba diver was able to find it along with recording a 332 minute video which mostly consists of darkness. After this delay we headed back on our 4 hour drive to El Castillo. Dinner was ready for us, which was chicken tostadas with lettuce and salsa topping. Then we had our nightly meeting where we debrief on our day. Goodnight, see you soon…….CAN’T WAIT TO COME HOME!
Two more days, I am counting down everyday. Make sure your souvenirs are OK to put it into your carry on bag. See you soon, love mom
Jasmine, that day’s sounds fun. See you soon, I love you!! Dad
Sarah M looks like you glimpsers had a very fun day. Explore,learn,and enjoy the rest of your trip. Stay safe and see you soon. Love Dad
Hola Cinque!
Those gorgeous pictures of the water make me want dive in! If only I could just figure out how to climb through this computer screen-maybe with the next new iPhone. It looks like you all found the perfect way to relax after all of your hard work. I’m very proud of the GG group. This has been a wonderful experience and lasting memory. We love you! See you soon! Stay prayerful!
Much God & love,
Mom, Dad, Czar & Stinky turtle

Wow that looks absolutely amazing. What a great way to end this adventure. Only “ONE MORE SLEEP” until you are home. I know for us we cannot wait to have our Nayla home. Nay the entire family (I mean the WHOLE family) cannot wait for you to get back and share. Hannah’s trunk party is Saturday so you can share your adventure then while we celebrate her adventure too. This has been tough for us but the blog has let us go with you. Thank you to all of the young people and especially the staff that took care of our precious cargo. Hurry home safely Nayla we miss you so very much.
What a beautiful area! It is a nice treat to end your trip. I think I see you on one of the little boats! You will be ready for Door County! I hope you are enjoying your last day in Matagalpa. We are looking forward to seeing you! Love, Mom Dad and Ryan
Remarkable trip! Safe travels on the journey home. So looking forward to seeing everyone’s happy faces. Such hard and worthwhile work done by all the GG participants, bravo!!!
Lee, we can’t wait to welcome you home!!! Xo mom

Nothing like a day of fun after a lot of hard work. Feels that much better. Glad everyone had a such a great day. Taking into account all the road travel, I’m hoping you have a “Frequent Bus Miles” account. Bet you’ve earned a free Greyhound Bus trip in the states!
Can’t wait for you to arrive home. Safe travels and see you at O’Hare!
