Last weekend we did several excursions. Friday we went to an orphanage to play with the kids and work on some projects. The kid that I was playing with was a little feisty, and we had to give them stickers and beachballs to play with. Saturday we went to La Paz Waterfall Gardens. There we saw some toucans, a sloth, some monkeys and some butterflies. We also saw some insects – they were a little disgusting. I saw one waterfall because I didn’t want to walk anymore, it was way too much walking. Sunday we went to Isla Tortuga and it was my 1st time on a boat, doing snorkeling, and being on a banana boat. I had so much fun. We also had some great food which was really awesome.
