Kids Experiences, Day 1 & 2

The First Day Blog from Students!

 

Jake: Hi mom, hi dad! Its me as I hope you know, and I am looking forward to the big zip line today. Even though it has been raining, it has been warm and some of the views are beautiful. The food is amazing and we have gotten snacks from supermarkets. I tried a really good drink called sour something, (oops I can’t remember the last part of the name!) The flights were decent and I tried to sleep because I was so tired, but when we got to the hotel I slept like a rock. So far everything is going great!! I love you and hope everything is well! Tell Oliver I say hi!!!

 

Clay: Hey everyone! So far, I’ve been really enjoying the CR trip. The place looks beautiful, the people are really nice, and, most importantly, the food is incredible! The chicken casado was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, and I might’ve gotten a new chin from the breakfast but who cares! It tasted delicious! Hope you all are doing great!

 

James: Hi mom and dad. Right now where about to go zip lining. You probably know that I’m really scared and don’t want to do it, but I might anyway. I love you, bye.  

 

Quincy: Hola Madre y Padre it’s me your child Quincy. In the times that I’ve been here I’m having an amazing time. We went to markets to get snacks we had great lunch’s and dinners. Today we had a good breakfast I tried papaya wasn’t to into it. Now where on our way to the place where going to be zip lining and I’m super excited. Love you, bye.

 

Forrest: Hi mom, we are currently on the bus headed to zip lining and I’m really exited. We ate a bunch of amazing food yesterday and a great breakfast today. It has been raining most of the time we have been here but it feel really refreshing when we would walk outside. See you soon!!

 

Walker: I’m ag mis amigos.  

 

Bella: Hello strange family! Its me, your child, Bella. So yesterday I did not sleep on either flights or on the bus so you can imagine I was exhausted when we got to the hotel, which is probably why I slept the best I had in months last night! It has been pretty rainy which is great considering I loooooovvveeee the rain. Also the food here is amazing! So far the meals we have had have consisted of rice, beans, and chicken. I hope you all are doing well and I love you. Also tell Sophie, Ollie and Mochi I say hi and that I am not dying!

    Hola, Walker! I'm going to need a little bit more information next time. Take pity on your poor, communication-starved mother, please! xo Love you.

    Hey Forest! Sounds like things are going well. I'm already jealous hearing about the delicious food! Hope you take some notes so you can cook me something yummy when you get back. I can't wait to hear about your day of ziplining and hopefully you got to see some of the birds you wanted to.

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 peed on my jacket . The dog was cute though so I forg

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

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?   James : Hi mom and dad on the day of the Fiesta we did some com
