Student reflections

Unfortunately the wifi at this hotel is pretty slow so it is hard to post pictures. Let's hope for better luck in the morning!

Today was filled with interesting events like almost throwing up in the back of a bus, buying chips for a stray dog whom we named Scruffy, and driving through clouds for about an hour.  We visited a craft store which had many birds, lizards, frogs etc. carved into wood.  It was amazing to see these works of art carved from a simple block of wood.  We bonded over feeding and naming a stray dog (Scruffy).  It was sad to see him go, we were attached after only 10 minutes.  On the dairy farm we learned how to milk cows and we picked strawberries.  This trip has been filled with amazing experiences and we can't wait to experience even more as a group.

Today we went to a farm, but instead of just looking at the animals we did something different. First things first Mac found her son today on the farm. Her son's name is ruffle and was a dog. Ruffle was so happy that he found his mom. But we a also milked cows, which was weird. The cow that the kids milked name is Margarita. Mac aka Margarita met a cow who shared the same name as her. Also we learned how they made cheese and we got to try some of it. In the end it was fun. For Macayla it was very sad because she had to leave her son behind.
