Borderlands Sri Lanka – Day 1 – ACS

The blog from the first day was written by Pia:

"After an exhausting 12 hours of travel to reach the Borderlands campsite in Sri Lanka, the American Community School at Beirut finally arrived with their minds at peace when they found out that the campsite was even more than what expected it to be. The first (and obviously the funnest) activity that we did was have a swim in the refreshing river. This certainly woke the ones who felt really tired after the long travels.

After the cooling swim in the river, we took time to set up our tents and make sure that they were bug-proof.

Lunch for us today was a delightful east cuisine. I personally have never had such food before so this really opened my mind towards other amazing things that I haven't yet tried before.

After we had lunch, we were challenged with many different activities that demonstrated the necessity of synchronization in a team.

We went again to have a swim in the river. This was by far the highlight of my day.

Right after dinner, we set up our sleeping equipment and got ready to go to sleep.

The unique way that Borderlands has helped us feel at home, prevented the homesickness that we were afraid to feel.

I can't wait until what tomorrow's adventure brings us!!"
