This morning we said our goodbyes to Carlos, Ronald and Zacatecoluca. It was very moving to see Carlos waving from the doors of the hostel one last time as the bus pulled away. We gave him one of the shirts we had made as a well deserved thank you. We made a quick pit-stop at the bank and the grocery store in Zacate, before starting the hour long drive to the resort. Excitement mounted as we approached and once we got a look at the ocean nothing could rein in the euphoria. Here was our paradise, at last!
Without a hammer or bag of cement in sight, we grabbed our luggage, ran to our rooms and tossed on our bathing suits. Our first team meeting of the day took place in the pool and none of us has been out of the water for longer than 20 minutes since then! The pool is the preferred spot but we hung out on the beach this morning. The kids are under strict orders not to enter the water past their knees and the lifeguard on duty is very vigilant. Mostly we're walking along the beach and laying out in the sun. The girls are making noises about booking massages and the boys have scheduled a team nap in the hammocks.
Needless to say the name of the game for the next couple days is to tax ourselves as little as possible!
