Today was an appreciated non-demanding day. The groups went to the houses of different families and conversed with them. We obtained a great understanding of how they live as well as their senses of humor. We also visited the school that is used by children far and wide. The parents of the children were gathered at the school to retrieve their child's report card because the administration didn't trust the kids to give their report cards to their parents. We came back to El Faro for lunch and then promptly left in the back of a truck and spent the next hour or so exploring the Guatemalan countryside. When we drove the gates of El Faro we did not return to the office, but rather to the nearby ropes course. The majority of us got strapped into harnesses and proceeded to tempt fate as we maneuvered various obstacles situated uncomfortably high in the air. After that, a pick-up game of basketball was played for an hour while we awaited dinner. Dinner came and we all ate very quickly. To close the day, we watched a video in the chapel that showed pictures of our experiences throughout the week.
