We woke up this morning at about 9-10 a.m. and did everything about breakfast that needed to be done. After that, Eryn and I played with the other kids and said goodbye to two of the rowdiest kids; Phillipe and Manuel. After they both had left with their mother in their car, Juan, his father, and his mother went out to get a new bicycle tire for someone\u2019s bike. While they were gone, I observed Eryn and Paz making bracelets.<\/p>\n<p>When Juan and family got back, he and I played some more before my parents decided that it was time to leave. We went out to a local ice cream shop and bought a kilo of ice cream \u2018for the road.\u2019 In all actuality, it wasn\u2019t for the road, it was for the time when we got to the Rio Azul.<\/p>\n<p>As we had gone that way before, it seemed that we got to the campground a lot sooner than last time. When we got down to the Rio, we went right on the path and up till there was a bench, where we ate the kilo of ice cream. From there, we walked a ways before sitting on a corner of the river next to some rapids. We waded and waited there, while throwing and skipping stones across the water and under hill and over hill. Eventually, we saw a little red kayak come down the river, and the rider steered her way through the rapids quickly and expertly. On the far bank, she pulled up and got out a camera to take pictures of what was to come.<\/p>\n<p>What was to come was actually three large rubber rafts. They were filled on the sides with 6-12 paddlers each. Each of the three colorful crafts made it through the rapids fine, but the last one; a blue one, made it the best, going right through the middle without hitting either bank, like the other ones had. When it was over, I wanted to raft a river.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all for now, Folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, because of my mother\u2019s arm issue, we couldn\u2019t do some things today, but we could do others.
