Today was really great. First, we woke up and had a yummy breakfast of yogurt, fruit and hot beverages. Then, we went snorkeling with some sea lions. The babies played with us while the alphas guarded their territory. It was wonderful to swim so close to these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. After that, we returned to camp and had some delicious tuna salad and coconut cakes. Then, we split into two groups. The first group went kayaking and paddle-boarding in the ocean near our camp. We reenacted World War II in the water with Alan, one of our guides. Afterwards, we went back to camp. Everyone was telling neat stories and talking about their childhoods. While we did this, the second group went out with Stephanie and Bernardo and snorkeled with turtles. Once everyone was back, we ate chips and guacamole on the beach and watched the tide slowly rise. Afterwards, we talked some more until dinner was ready. We had chicken and beans, served with tortillas and salsa. After dinner, everybody, including one of our boat captains, gathered up for a counsel session. We discussed many things, such as our favorite things about our guides and some of the times where we felt most safe. Everyone contributed a great deal to the conversation, and it was an incredibly thoughtful session. After our counsel, we went off to sleep. Many of us opted to sleep outside, as it was both our last night on the island and our last night of camping for the trip.
