Costa Rica Spanish Intensive #2A - The Perfect Group!

Hi Abbott and families,
Life here in Costa Rica brings me pure smiles. I love my group, we are all getting along very well.
The kids loved the canopy tour. Lauren quoted, ¨This was my favorite day of the entire trip.¨ She did awesome and Sarah did the Tarzan swing even though she was scared. She overcame her fear of heights.
Kaitlin quoted that she is ¨truly having the time of her life¨ and today in Sammy´s mid-trip evaluation he said, ¨this camp is the best camp that I have ever gone to.¨´
Yesterday we did an amazing hike in the cloud forest of Monteverde. The kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt like being in a movie with all the vegetation and wildlife. We finished the day off by taking the kids to a disco for the culture and because they have been awesome. They truly deserved the treat. We danced all night long together.
Today we did our service project on a local coffee plantation. Everyone helped plant coffee trees and cleared out the vegetation around the older coffee plants so that the trees would have room to grow. All of the money on this coffee plantation goes towards scholarships for the local children to attend school. The kids loved the project and worked extremely hard today. We will finish the day off by having a fiesta for our host families. It will be a pizza party with a piñata and an organized game of futbol. Yeah!!
Tomorrow we head to Ricon de la Vieja to enjoy the natural mud spas and an amazing local hotel.
Pura Vida,
Annemarie
Thanks for the perfect group!
