Today was a planned chill out day. We scheduled our traveling back to Concepcion for late afternoon and early evening so that we could just relax in the morning. We all kind of got up whenever and did pretty much nothing. It was great. The first thing that we did was make breakfast. This was quite interesting because we had 5 people in the kitchen all doing different jobs in the preparation and everybody getting in each others way. Chef Marshall was flipping ham all over the kitchen as he fried it for our hot ham and cheese sandwiches, quite amazing that we didn’t loose a single piece of ham. The breakfast was delicious. After breakfast we all just kind of hung out. We packed our things and had the rest of the morning to do whatever. Some of us were productive (not me of course) and worked on our journals, some read, some took naps, and some played cards. Marshall beat everyone at ping pong again, and that was pretty much our morning. It was very nice, really the first time we had down time the entire trip.
To our surprise our ride arrived early. We all were running around the cabana panicked trying to make sure that we had everything, and there were some of us that weren’t even packed (not me of course). We managed to get everything together and all squared up with the owners of the cabana, and we were on the road. It even looked like we were going to be able to catch the earlier bus back to Concepcion. On the way to the bus station we found out that our driver was not early, he was in fact late, but there was a time change last night that made it seem other wise. I am so glad that we were all informed of such an important piece of information.
We all got separated on the bus because evidently Sunday is a horrible day to travel, but luckily we all made it home together. We all got off at the same stop, caught another bus to the mall, and were all picked up and transported to our homes safely. The planning was a little unorganized, and I really had no idea how I was getting home until I was in a car headed in that direction, but I did make it home. When I arrived home, my family was very surprised to see me, and I’m not really sure why, but they fixed me a huge meal and hot tea and then it was time for bed. I made a couple of phone calls on Skype before I hit the sack, and it was extra nice because we were now on the same time as Ohio. Final thought before bed, This webcam is probably the best purchase I have made in a long time.
