Day 3, The New Location

Day 2 Visit to  Sitio  De Mata   Jake :  Hi mom, hi dad!! Today we traveled long and far to the village. There were a bunch of amazing and extremely welcoming people, and made us feel at home. After that we took a tour around the village and saw some orchid farms. Dad you would have liked it because it felt like a secret place a little bit. It was kind of like a mini jungle. We then played soccer with some  ticos  and took a cooking class where we made many delicious things. I will send you a picture. We are now in a new hotel which is very nice and peaceful. Many individuals come here to bird watch. We have seen a lot of birds so far here. There is a phrase called  Pura Vida which means pure life. I hope you are having that with me gone or as much as you possibly can, so PURA VIDA!!!    Clay :  Hello all.  Today was also really fun! We met Tom, who ’s insane, but he’s also pretty fun. We played soccer, and while we were there a dog...

Experiences by Kids, Beach Patrol

Beach Patrol   Mr. Sailor aka George  At about 9: 45 pm last  night,  we set out for our Sea Turtle Beach Patrol.  As a group we were not sure what to expect or what we might encounter.  We met our guides named David and Fernando at the Cahuita Turtle Rescue.  We learned about the organization ’ s beginning and purpose.  We had a chance to see where the baby turtles are housed until they hatch and then we set out on the patrol.   We were searching for Leatherback Turtles which may be as large as 4-feet in diameter and may lay up to 80 eggs at a time.  These turtles may be from Florida or throughout Central America and will only lay eggs at night.  As a result, there is a need to protect these turtle eggs from poachers who sell them as an aphrodisiac despite this being against the law in some areas of Costa Rica and can land a poacher in jail for 3-5 years.   We walked just over 6 MILES along the beach.   We did not en...

Experiences by the Kids Day 4 Sitio de Mata Service and Fiesta

Day 4  Sitio  Service  and Fiesta   Clay:  Yesterday was probably my favorite day so far. The Fiesta was incredible, and all the people were so welcoming! We had a bunch of fun painting the poles, and we all learned at the Fiesta  how  Walker is such a lady’s man! Also, after leaving the Fiesta, I no joke cried a little, since in all likelihood I would never see these people again as I won’t be able to go on the trip in the future. Also, as I’m writing this, it’s the halfway point for the trip, and I think it’s pretty likely that the Fiesta will be my fondest memory of the trip.   Walker Me and the boys + Bella worked on cleaning and painting light posts around the community. At the fiesta I hit the  woah . I taught a bunch of other people how to hit the  woah  in the community too. Then we danced to music, and they had some LOOOOOONG songs. They also did Gangnam style which was outdated but LIT.  Pura  Vida, am I right? ...
