Going home

The last seven days of our trip have been so crazy busy that we have had almost no chance to get online. Below is a quick recap of our crazy last week. One of us may write more details about these days in the future.

7/13-7/15
We ran our second summer camp program. This time the camp was full with 40 children. We learned a lot from our first camp and tried to improve the program based on what we learned. The camp ran smooth with children connecting with nature while practicing their English skills. We've had a blast running program at Guandu.

7/16
Gene invited us to go river tracing up in Yangmingshan National Park. We walked up a stream and used rock climbing equipment to climb up boulders and waterfalls. This was probably one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in nature.

7/17-7/19
We took a trip to Hualian County on the east coast. In our three days there we went rafting, hiked Toroko National Park, biked through the town and around a lake and then did some stream tracing and swimming. This was an amazing way to end our trip.

7/20
Today we are packing and getting ready to leave. We are sad to leave this place but also excited to get back to the US. The whole trip has been an amazing experience for us all.
