Free day is here! No matter what us glimpsers did — whether it’s going for a stroll downtown, going shopping at the local flower festival, or just catching up on some sleep — everyone managed to grow and learn more about each other in some way or another. We had an immense amount of fun along the way!
Some cool activities that we did today includes learning an all new card game called “13,” but from where I grew up we just called it “Chinese Poker.” We had all sorts of fun today at the pool too, from playing a perilous and panicking game of hot potato to experimenting with new makeup routines.
To mom and dad as well, I miss you both very much! I will keep you all updated the second I get to see you again. I love you both very much.
(and yes, the person who dropped his sunglasses the day before was indeed Felix lol)

Yesss a free day and more time to get to know each other! I’m so glad you guys had a great time! I hope Divinia got a chance to use her debit internationally. That’s one detail we forgot to add for your shopping experience or else its a sign that she may overdo it! Either way a free day meant making connections that can last a lifetime!
free day!!! yay so glad y’all got to have some agency with what you wanted your day to look like 🙂 alex, u made me look up what perilous meant so thanks for making me learn not only about your new experiences but new words too!!

We were so happy to hear from you! Glad you’re having a good time. You happened to catch us in the one spot on our hike where we had reception so that was really lucky. People were probably wondering why we were yelling on a phone call on the side of a cliff.
Dad wants to learn your new version of poker 🙂
PS. I’m starting to tire of YK’s perfectly curated posts. Someone is not being real.
