From Chris:

Today is Saturday the last day of our trip is finally here. The city of San Juan and Hotel Isabella have been a great way to end our trip. We finished working with the San Juan entrepreneurs yesterday, so today we have an entire day to explore the city just a little bit more before we leave. Since it was our last day here we have decided to make the most by going surfing early this morning. Our instructor Alfredo from Casa Oro Surf shop was amazing. We were shuttled from the surf shop to a near by beach that had an appropriate surfing conditions for beginners. Once we arrived at the beach the lesson began on the land where we learned the three steps how to stand upright on the surfboard. After about an hour of practice on how to establish positioning on the surfboard Alfredo took us into the water. We spread out once we got in the water because there were so many of us. Alfredo not only assisted us in the water but he filmed us as well, which was a great deal considering we only paid $20 a person. After surfing we grabbed some lunch and headed back to the hotel here is where we spilt into smaller groups to get some last minute shopping done, Zip lining in or a few more hours on the beach for that perfect tan. I went Zip lining below is a picture of one of my classmates Zip lining upside down (yes upside down). Our final day together on this trip was just as amazing as the previous days and having the free time enable us to get in many activities. Professor White decided she would allow us to choose to stay in San Juan and wake up in 2:30am to go to the airport or go back to Managua and wake up at a more normal hour being that the airport is in Managua. We decided to stay in San Juan which was great.
