Today was a pretty laid back day for the whole team. We got to sleep in a little bit this morning and then we were off to the Sainta Claira Beach. The trip was said to be about 45 minutes, but over the course of this week we have learned that Gabon time is nothing like real time. So the trip really lasted like an hour and a half with a quick pit stop at the Hope House's new grounds. Pretty soon they will start build a new home for the children that the Pastor and his wife have taken in. The only problem is that the land boundries are unclear as to where they start and end so until that problem is resolved nothing can move forward. After seeing the new land, we made our way not this dreadful dirt trail that seemed to lead to nowhere and had massive craters in the ground that we had to dodge. We were all over the place. There came a point when our 18 passenger van got suck on a huge hill and everybody had to get out and push the van to the top. Luckly it was not that far. After that long journey we made it to this beautiful beach. We had a wonderful time at the beach all afternoon. There was a really sweet coral reef where we found tons of really neat animals like sea urchins, hermit crabs and some great coral. The waves were really big and really powerful. We had a great time playing soccer and exploring a really neat cove. It was really sweet and we all had a wonderful time. Tonight for dinner we had some really neat food from the street. It was a great grilled chicked with this great sauce that they grill on the streets everywhere down here. Okay... well that is about all for today.
Much Love!
The Gabon Team
