Day 23: ATVs

 Ready to roll out

Last night began the celebration of San Juan, which of course is a big deal in San Juan del Sur.  With that said, there were revelers up all night with trumpets, drums, and of course fireworks until about 5AM.

After breakfast, however, we got a quick lesson on how to drive ATVs, and then we hit the road.  We had an exciting ride up to the statue of Jesus that overlooks the bay of San Juan del Sur.  Then, we hit some back roads to get to a remote beach where the boys were able to ride around and enjoy the beach as well as go for a swim.

A shot of the whole group

When we got back, we had lunch on the beach, the boys filled out their CASA evaluation forms, and most of them rented surf boards and went surfing.  The internet connection in the hotel is not very strong, so posting has been a challenge this weekend.
