R&R

As our group set off for a fun day of R&R(Rigorous Recreation) thoughts of what to expect surely crossed everyone's mind, though it is likely none of us were able to anticipate the reality that lay ahead. It began with a series of breathtaking views of the Pulhapanzak waterfalls, followed by a treacherous excursion through jagged rocks, slippery mud, and rushing currents. Once at the base we rested underneath the falls struggling to see and breathe amidst the intense downpour of water. Our guide concluded the "let's have fun with the gringos" trek by shaming us into jumping off a 30ft cliff; bringing along a 12yr. child for motivation.

After a brief lunch (Fonditto and beer is sooooo yummy!!) our driver Rolando took us to Los Pinos for a 8km hike in the Sendero El Sinai mountains. Although the hike is normally an estimated 4hour trail, we managed to complete the entire journey is just over 2h30mins. The hike, like the waterfalls, was breathtaking, that is, it literally sucked the oxygen from our lungs! Words cannot describe how beautiful the jungles of Honduras are so the photos will have to do the talking for us.

A pleasant shot to the arm goes out to both Jennifer and David for their thoughtful planning of today's events.
