Friday – Chloe

     I awoke early to watch the sunrise, and it was absolutely beautiful. A friend and I hiked out to the cross to have some quiet time. We came back for breakfast and our final day with the people from Cupertino. Everyone then moved to the amphitheater for a time of reflection which was really cool because we got to hear others' stories from the week. Communion and individual reflection time followed. We supported each other in our sadness off the week's end and there was a mass hike out to this platform that is surrounded by great views. We transitioned into lunch and got into our circles of affirmation, where we go around the circle and affirm each other. It's a rely cool experience to be a part of. That took a few hours but we had the rest of the day to strengthen our relationships before it was too late. We went to the cross and climbed it again, played cards and talked with each other, and went it got dark enough we went star tripping. There was one final night hike and climbing of the cross and our week was finally over. We left the next morning and arrived home mid-day just in time to do homework.
