A slow quiet morning with intermittent rain allowed us to sip coffee, have a plentiful breakfast and decompress from the 4 days of adventure we've enjoyed.
Dawn and I chopped up the fruit we purchased the night before and it was an impressive buffet, complete with yogurt packs with instant coffee this time around.
Mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, banana and a mystery fruit (that deserves further research as to its name), and lime wedges to keep tummys happy.
Everything is charged up and ready to go. The sun is peeking out a little more now. It would be great to fly back to La Union today and back at Casa Blanca tonight.
Upon arriving at launch, the wind is strong over the back and rain is on the way. We snap a group photo, drive down the hill, have lunch in Ansermanuevo, and drive back to La Union in an hour and a half.
Flacko, Boris, Dawn & Jim, Shane, Brian, Destin, Matt and Marty. (Dubin, the third driver was in town with his family).
We unloaded, unpacked, hit the pool, did laundry, took naps, and the guides began to get ready for the next group to arrive late the next day. It was serendipitous to get back early. We are glad to be back and relax, knowing we would stay in one familiar place the next day. We flew over some amazing terrain, and yet despite the risks, we all came out it with nothing more than a few scuffs, bruises and plenty of bug bites. Bravo, team.
The church was open, well lit and services could be heard from the speakers inside. Not many inside, but this Iglesia gets a lot of use and is packed on Saturday and Sunday nights.
We ate at the pizza place together and I ate way too much. It was so good, thin, crispy crust with ham and pineapple. Yum.
It's good to be "home" at Casa Blanca.
Cheers,
MartÃn
