Day 5 8/17/12 - Taylor Phillips

Today it rained. We started our day taking a walk down to the bus. Yesterday, it was too wet to drive to the farm so we left it down the road. After making the walk down to the bus in our very "fashionable rain gear" we headed to Cristo Rey to have a sports clinic and water demonstration. When we were on our way we learned we might not be able to make it to the town because of all the rain the river was over the bridge. We got to the river and quickly learned out our bus would not make it even thought our bus driver wanted to desperately  Some men from the town came with trucks to take us across. When we got there we played with kids and had a water demonstration. After our adventures we headed back to the farm for a restful night. It has amazed me how much of a process it can be to get to places. We take for granted and mistake how easy it is to jump in the car and run to the doctor. We never think about a bridge being flooded and not being able to drive over.
