Woke up at 8 this morning to go to the Mama Cocha center here in the area. Unfortunately, there were currently only 2 kids there as the rest are either attending regular school or on vacation. This meant that as much as we loved spending time with Jose Antonio in his wheel chair and Hector, we only spent about 4 hours there. I managed to check out the whole place again - it has changed massively since the last time I was there with CIS. A huge wall surrounds the main building, next door is now another classroom, swings, shaded areas, a physiotherapy room and a climbing castle. It was almost unrecognizable. However, the sign I helped put up two years ago was still there along with the drawings we painted inside the house. The danish flagged fish, the mischievous looking turtle etc. Don´t think either of the two kids remembered me specifically, but seemed happy to have company no matter who we were.
Managed to book us in for an intensive 10 hour surfing trip tomorrow with 7 hours of surfing included, along with 4 other hostel guests. Felt exhausted after the last 2 hours so this should be a good workout. Really looking forward to it.
We walked down the beach for todays sunset and found horses to ride, so saw the sunset riding on horses down the beach. Although not my preferred method of transport, and never will be, it was fun. AC has definetly missed horses back home and enjoyed it alot. The sunsets "up" here are really amazing, plenty of photos taken :-)
