Day 6: Swim and Science - Kendall and Elise

Everyone but Eli and Jason made it in the car because they were too slow. After breakfast, we rode on a tractor to a small town and hiked our way to a waterfall.

The waves where very large so we didn't go far. We all just had fun being knocked over by the waves. After about an hour and a half, we rinsed off and got into the pool.
