Yesterday was such a magical day. We all got the breathtaking experience of swimming with the fishes. (Pictures to come later, but they may not express the true beauty). After a graceful swim in the Caribbean our tour guide took us on a couple small hikes. We were shown some of the natural medicinal plants that grow throughout the rain forest. We also saw more monkeys, some of which tried to throw things at us, lots of hermit crabs, and even a vibrant yellow snake. After our lunch, we were taken on a tour of a local chocolate factory. The process from start to finish was so interesting, the chocolate pods grow in a different manner then anything I have seen before and the process smells amazing every step of the way. We got the experience of watching a woman from the local tribe mix the ground chocolate with a common receipe and spread it out for us to try. Now the fresh handmade chocolate was not a disappointment at all in my opinion.
This experience is so amazing and I do not think I will ever be able to express it in words. Each one of us has grown and expanded our outlook in one way or another. We each have experienced some sort of challenge and and tried something new. Thank you GCP and Shenandoah for this opportunity.
