Today was such a blessing, and a well deserved break for the team. Although we were unable to get a beach house to stay the night, we woke up at 6:00 to drive to the beach in order the spend the day relaxing and preparing for the leadership retreat. We found a wonderful beach spot with a cabana where we set up hammocks for everyone, got frozen drinks, and just had an opportunity to relax with some Salvadorian friends for the afternoon.
The water was perfect and the view was amazing. Some people stayed in the ocean for most of the day, some in their hammocks, and the guys had a blast in the pool launching each other into the air. All in all, a great day for everyone.
After the afternoon of relaxing, we spent part of the evening planning for the retreat that starts tomorrow. The athletes are really stepping it up and we can’t wait to see how well they do at putting on an event they have been participants in until this point. After the planning was done, and right as a monsoon storm hit, we packed up and headed to drop half the team off at the retreat center to begin setup while the rest went home to San Salvador. Unfortunately, the team hit a few snags in the plan and it ended up being an incredibly late night for some, an incredibly early morning for others, and exhaustion all around. But the team kept positive, got everything done, and finally got some sleep! Time for the next few days to begin!
