    Dear Clay,

    We wish we could be in beautiful Costa Rica with you and the Watkinson gang!
    Every day since you left, I’ve worn my Watkinson T shirt and driven around VT with your school magnet proudly stuck on our car. It’s a great subject for conversation. The great tomato plants you so kindly got for us at the Watkinson plant sale are happily growing in the organic veggie garden and have loved all of the rain and cool weather we’ve had for them and the other plants to sink their roots so they can grow comfortably.
    We hope you are all having a wonderful time and are so proud of you for doing the wonderful work you agreed to do all those months ago.
    We love you and so look forward to hearing your stories of your adventures over a cup of our favorite tea!
    Enjoy yourself and each other.
    Lots of hugs from,
    Papito and Mimo

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...

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...
