Final Day in Salvador

We just got back from our last dinner in Salvador as a combined group. Tomorrow we divide off; 9 students will be heading to Chapada Diamantina National Park with me, and 12 students are off to Paraty to start their sailing adventure with Sandi Chasson. Today was a relaxing one for the boys with nothing more pressing on the schedule than souvenir shopping, swimming, and tanning. A few of the guys experienced what a jellyfish sting feels like as well. They say it wasn´t much worse than a bee sting, though, so they didn´t have to resort to any natural remedies. It was good for the boys to have this time together before separating tomorrow. We´re only divided into different groups for 7 days, but I suspect this will be difficult for some. The whole group of 22 has bonded really well over the last 10 days. It´s amazing how quickly this happens on trips of this kind.


Future updates will be coming from Sandi Chasson and Gary Godkin for the second sailing group, from Danielle Richer and Rob Giel for the second community service group, and from me for the hiking group.
