Today we woke up at 5:15 and prepared to begin our second fun day. We took an hour long bus ride to the city of Samoto. In Samoto we took a tour through one of the fourty Rosquillas making factories in the city. Rosquillas are corn-based cookies that usually consist of other ingredients such as cinnamon and sugar, and are considered one of the most traditional snacks in Nicaragua. After the tour, we took a bus ride to Samoto Canyon where we hiked down a rocky trail until we reached the river. We then drifted down the river for about three hours, where we also jumped off 12-foot cliffs into the water a few times. Everybody exhibited positive attitudes and interest in this activity which made this activity undeniably fun. After the canyon, we went back to the hostel to freshen up for our dinner at Tip Top where we had our dinner. Though not all of the students were 100 percent confident about getting in the water, we all got in and faced our fears. As a leader, seeing that me proud of myself for leading them, and proud of them for pushing through the negatives to turn them into bright positives. Overall, this was truly a fun day and it was my pleasure leading the glimpsers through this adventure.

So looking forward to seeing you all back home! I’ve read all these wonderful posts sharing your amazing experiences in Nicaragua and though I’ve learned new levels of anxiety and worry, those feelings have been matched by excitement and pride for not only my Zoe but all who share this time together. I look forward to hearing more about these days in-country in person but need to share how proud I am of the steps each of these young people took to choose, make happen and engage in this trip.
Love you you Zoe and hugs to all!! — Proud Papa!
