Caleb & Della: 6/19/14: Day 109: Water Park

We left at 7:30 to enjoy a bit of site seeing and a waterpark with our friends Fred and Jaci. They will be leaving for Guatemala at 5:00 AM Saturday. We went to the same water park that we went to three years ago the first time I came to El Salvador with Central. We arrived at 8:30 and there was almost no one there but as we were getting stuff out of the trunk about 100 kids showed up. By the time we got our bags in the locker the park was getting full. The slides weren’t open yet so I bought some goggles and we walked to the thermal pools. There were bunches of minnows and they tickled our feet like crazy. It was tickle torture to stand still for more than a few seconds. Fred, Clifton, and I competed to see who could swim the furthest in one breath. I won for completely under the water and Fred won on the surface. Then some kids came up and made a human pyramid three stories tall! The slides opened so we went to check them out. They had some others opened that were not opened the last time I was there. After enjoying the slides for a while they opened a zipline that went from the slides all the way outside the park. Clifton and I ran to get the tickets and we had a great time on the line. We ate lunch at the park about 11:40. Then we went walking around the park and found our old friend the statue of the rhino. They had painted it orange and we got our pictures on it. Then it started pouring rain so we had to wait it out. We got to the ruins in Chalchuapa at 1:40. These were the same ruins that we had tried to go to with the Franklin group but didn’t make it before they closed. They charged us extra because we were ”Extranjeros /Foreigners”. There wasn’t much to the ruins; I had hoped that we would be allowed inside but no such luck. We got home at 2:40 and rested for a bit. The doorbell rang and there were some people wanting the check out our house for buying it. I called the landlord and understood that she had not given them permission so I told them to go away. At 5:15 Clifton and I went to the bible study and I taught on Psalms 66 with Hector interpreting. Hector said that we are not locked in a contract on our house and that we could move any time. It will be nice to not have to worry about people wanting to come and see the house anymore. We will probably try to make the move this next week!
