In Mountain Pine Ridge

Hello Parents,
I just received a message from Chris Lindstrom, World Leadership School instructor with the Bullis group. He was happy to report that the group is doing well, despite a lot of rainy weather. They were in the midst of having milkshakes at Five Sisters Lodge, up in the Mountain Pine Ridge area, to celebrate William Tavel's birthday (which is today). They had a great hike today and also had a fun day swimming at Rio on Pools, a shallow series of waterfalls that they visited on the way to Mountain Pine Ridge. Tonight they will stay at Mountain Pine Ridge Cabin, a rustic retreat with a fabulous deck and view of the surrounding area. Tomorrow they will head to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich before arriving back at Monkey Bay Sanctuary for community service work. We are hopeful the rains will cease and they can get to work on finishing Democracia School's dining hall. If the rains persist, we do have a back-up option that involves painting the computer lab recently installed at the school through World Leadership School donations and student service labor. They should post a good blog update tomorrow night.
Thanks
Ross Wehner
