Limon

Hola mismos, it has been a fun few days, we gave went from Sharaqupi to the Carribean Coast of In Limon. Tomorrow will will drive back to the central valley and the San Jose province. As for the past two days, we have been doing everything from a Canopy tour via sky trams, hiked through the forest at night and community service. Everyone has been working very hard to be the best rep of the program and being open minded! We are all completely sad our time here in Costa Rica is coming to a close as we have become really close friends and coleges, all is well here! Until next blog!

Nature walk!

Pura Vida everyone, today was overly exciting. Today we had the unique oppertunity to visit the Trimbina Wildlife Reserve. While there, we had to take soil samples, soil temp, the height of the tree and count groud coverage in certain areas. In the end we learned about the characteristics of the rain forest. While in the forest some delegates to see Toucans, sloth and Dart Frog. We later stoped in a community to help build a building to began a new. It rain during our visit it rained so we move to moved in side! We need up play for soccer. In the end another great day, Hasta Luego

The Canopy and beyond

Hello everyone, pura vida from the forest floor. It has been a long busy week. It was hard to get intertnet access as well as keep our constant schedule.so with that, tuesday was pretty busy as we left Jaco for the mountains north of San Jose. At Palmichal did lots of work and slept in lodge type rooms. The next day we traveled from Palmichal to Heredia for the home stay. The homestays was very hospitable and thought about. During this week, we went to Ala Fortuna where the volcano Arenal is located, we also hiked up a volcane, celebrated a birthday and went zip lining. It is really a lot to say, Im glad you understand!
