Day #5: A Day of Firsts

Today we got the opportunity to go horseback riding in the mountains. After an hour ride down the steep hills, we were able to soak for a bit in a hot spring.  The ride was beautiful with many amazing views. Following the ride, we delivered supplies to a local elementary school.  The students chatted and then played games outside with the school children.

This afternoon, after lunch, we traveled to the Santa Elena Biological preserve where we hiked through the cloud forest. Before dinner, we had dance lessons in salsa, bachata, and merengue.  This evening we went downtown to a local fair where we rode bumper cars, danced to local music, and watched "bull fighting".
