A Trip In the Rain

Today was our first real outting as a group. We started things off with breakfast, then headed out to Dos Pinos Dairy Plant. We met officials there and talked about the production of their dairy products. When we actually got into the plant we met Lula, the Dos Pinos mascot.  She was entertaining both children and our group. During the visit, she started breakdancing and she challenged one of the students, Seth, to a dance off. It was really cool to hear about the different production processes. The tour ended by getting stuffed Lula Dolls and free ice cream. After that we transfered our US dollars to the currency down here which is so cool because it has hammerhead sharks on it.

Unfortunately when we were leaving for our pen pals school it poured down rain.  While we were walking, getting soaked, I began wish that a tour bus would come and pick us up. Anyhow, the experience of meeting the High School Students was great. They gave us food and drinks and we interviewed one of their teachers Ms. Mellisa Gonzalez. When we came back to the hotel it stopped raining which is good. We are heading to salsa dancing lessons so we can dance at a Friday social event with the high school students.
