Puerto Rican Tumble 3/3/19

3-03 Puerto Rican Tumble

After crazy delays and half the group being separated throughout various states along the way,  about three-fourths of our crew arrived in San Juan at the airport around 10 at night, and we made it to the camp at 11:30. Adam thought he scared the girls in the room half to death when he walked into the room, in the middle of the night.  After a nights rest, we were ready to work at the Cabezas de San Juan.  At the reservation, we cleared debris around newly planted trees and added mulch and water to the saplings.  We removed invasive species around the newly planted trees.  We saw some pretty interesting things such a giant hermit crab, dead coconuts, gigantic termite nests, and a humungous iguana.  Tony Gomez worked so hard that when he was pulling a weed near one of the saplings, his hand slipped and his body flew backwards and rolled back down a 15-foot incline.  He had an abrupt ending where he laid at the beach and took a moment to compile himself. Some members rushed to his aid while others were fighting back tears of laughter.  He managed to get himself up and continue working.  After we finished with our reforestation process, we relaxed at the beach.  While others played in the water, Sabrina and Wyatt built an elaborate sand turtle.  Tonight, New Kensington and Greater Allegheny took time to get to know each other, and grew closer as a unit.  Tune in next time, for our next adventure!
