Saturday, 8/2 phone call

Marie called while I was at dinner with Gordon. The chicken enchilada had to wait while I got the report of the last few days. The bus ride was part of a journey to hot springs activity. They are located a couple of hours from their hotel in the moutains. Steph and Kels decided to not get in the water because it looked "gross". They said the canyon they had to drive through was like Farmington Canyon only worse...and bus drive drove 'way too fast'. They were all very nervous the entire ride.

The highlight of the day came when they stopped in a very small remote town. On the bus they were given Peruvian bread which they were to share with the poor children of the small town. She said as soon as the kids in town hear the bus they all come running as fast as they can. They have learned the bus people have food to share. Marie said they were the cutest, dirtiest kids she has ever seen...and the poorest! The kids from the AYS tour loved sharing what they had and even offered up the rest of their lunches to the kids from the town.
