We woke up early again this morning to begin another physical quest. Our goal was to make to a church in a town called Margaritas was approximately 6 miles away. The good thing with this would be the flat terrain we were walking on (no climbing). Well, the first 2 hours of walking go by and I begin to hope we are reaching our destination soon. We reach a town about 45 minutes later called Carmen and ask someone for some directions and we find out we had walked about 2 hours in the wrong direction. So, after turning around and taking 2 truck rides in our right direction we finally made it!! If my calculations are correct, we ended up walking just a little bit over 9 miles within 3 hours. Oh and yes, our legs and feet were all incredibly sore that same day. None of us could move.
Later on in the day, after we made it back to the house and relaxed a bit, we began to pack to head home. Domingo tagged our tired feet with stickers from his luggage as this was his contribution to packing. I couldn't believe the trip was coming to an end!! I had so much fun seeing another part of the world, learning new ways of life, and most of all meeting Domingo's family. They were all so welcoming and so kind to me. His grandparents were amazing and really made me miss mine. I really hope we get to go back soon!!!
