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.

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 encounter any turtles but we learned a great deal.  We finished wet, ti

Day 2 Experiences by the Kids

Day 2 Zip Lining,  Arenal  and the Farm!   Bella : Helloooo ! Today we went zip lining and it was amazing! We were up so high I felt like I was going to die. Anyways, we later went to a local farm to lean about the different products here. I can’t  resmember what it was called but there was  a  a little thing that grows on trees and the seeds inside give off a  beight red pigment. We used the pigment to paint on Walkers face which was hilarious, of course I didn’t look any better. Lastly we saw a SLOTH!!!! Hopefully when I get home I will  hav  the YMCA parody Sloth Man done. Love  yall !     Walker : Hello parental units. Today was very eventful and fun.  Stuff is cheaper in the beautiful village of La Fortuna.  We saw a sloth while at the farm of Don Juan.  It was lovely and very cute.  I just got through swimming and watching animal planet.  I also saw a toucan and followed leaf cutter ant tracks.  Love you and will talk to you soon.     Clay -  Today was a great day.
