Well, Tuesday morning brought an awesome run on the beach as well as some rediculously huge waves for surfing! I have some awesome battle wound bruises, but they were definitely worth it!
We caught the bus back to San Jose and the kiddos arrived in the afternoon! I guess the summer has officially begun!
We took the kiddos to a small school to let them ´dive in´ with working with local children. I think they realized how little the language barrier affects relationships when working with a children. A smile is worth a thousand words, and they had a blast playing and eating and laughing with the Ticos.
We then spent the night at a hotel that overlooks a coffee valley. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the idea of being in a remote location away from technology were a great ´hello to Costa Rica´ for the Facebook loving, fancy phone owning teenagers. :)
We spent Thursday and Friday on the river white water rafting. It was absolutely amazing to raft the class III and IV rapids on one of the top ten rivers in the world! Apparently our 19 mile journey was some of what was used for the world cup of white water rafting a few years ago. Sweet.
I definitely took advantage of exploring the jungle in the early am before we started day 2 of the journey. We found a 30 foot waterfall that I´ll be sure to take my camera to next time. :) It´s crazy that people pay 15 dollars for a cd that sounds like what we woke up to that morning!
Well, camp starts tomorrow! I´ll be in touch.
