Jungle Pools Sunday, January 17

          Today was the most relaxing day of the trip thus far, we woke up a little later than usual for an 8:30 breakfast consisting of french toast ( a nice reminder of home). Then we hopped into the pickup truck and headed about twenty minutes outside of town to some "pools in the jungle".  We had no idea what to expect because we are the first group from Saints to take the excursion.
          The truck pulled to the side of the road and we all hopped out, the driver pointed to a path through the jungle.  With no other directions we headed out, after fifteen minutes or so of confusion and back tracking we came to the pools.  They were man made and filled with moving water from the river not more than twenty feet away.
          It was a refreshing break from the work week and we took advantage of every moment.  Ms. Mekrut packed us a lunch of fresh fruit, cheese, tortillas and avocados from the market and an added treat of fresh guacamole made by Brenden and Will.
         We headed back to San Lucas with yet another great adventure behind us.  Hopefully we sleep well tonight because tomorrow will be another fun day of work.
