After a leisurely morning around at the resort, the students met at the pool in the afternoon to walk together as a group to the lagoon. To get to the lagoon, we had to cross through the “jungle,” a part of the ecological foundation’s undeveloped land on the resort. Though this area had cleared walkways and bridges, the word “jungle” brought the idea of adventure in our minds, a feeling that many students were craving after being on the resort.
Students covered themselves with bug spray and sunscreen for the event and three even carried walking sticks. After about ¼ mile walk, we arrived at our destination, a pristine freshwater lagoon. The see-through, aqua water was crisp and refreshing. We felt as if we were the only beings to discover such a place except for a single white heron that would periodically swim past us.
The students spent the afternoon jumping off a 15 foot cliff into the lagoon while others rated and watched each jump. It was truly a magical day that many of us will not soon forget.
