Pura Vida Abbott & amigos! Some quotes from all!


Ryan Rosado: Man oh man! I have learned more Spanish in the past 3 days then I have in my past school year in Honors Spanish! Plus the people here had to be picked from Heaven because we all get along perfectly!

Kylie Lewis: I have been having an amazing experience in Costa Rica so far - my host family is so sweet and polite, and our group is a lot of fun! And even though my family gives me waay too much food , it is SOOOOO good! I’m loving it here.

Hannah Recht: I have loved living with my host family, they make a huge effort to help me with my Spanish and I have learned so much already. Our community service project was awesome. We built beds , painted the walls, and played with the kids at the preschool. I can’t wait to go rafting!

Rebecca Ramirez: Hey everyone! I am having a blast! I am making tons of friends and learning SO MUCH SPANISH! I love you mom, dad, and Memo. Miss you!

Henry Mccauley: “this trip so far has been spectacular. Iïve made new friends, enjoyed a new culture, speaking Spanish with my family, and fun games! It has been a great experience so far and is still only the first week.”

Devin Cody: “This trip has been one pf the best experiences of my life so far. Everyone in my group is open and friendly, and not to mention the ticos who are EXTREMELY generous. These four days have been terrific.”

Ben Kraut: “The first four days were an excellent kickoff for this trip. The first nite with the families was kida uncomfortable, but necessary for my Spanish. Iïve made new friends and had lots of fun so far.”

Max Ubi¤as: “Everyone is so funny! So much energy and laughing.”

Max Ferguson:” Today has been great so far. We had a lot of fun exploring and hiking. I am looking forward to rafting tomorrow.”

Kate Mott: “Spanish is fun and my family is so nice. It’s actually not as hot as I thought it would be. I wish I packed more T-shirts!”

Sheila Lee (TL): “I couldn’t have asked for a better group. I can’t believe we’ve only been together for four days, it seems like everyone has known each other for years! Having Erick (my Costa Rican co-leader) around is such a bonus too because he is like a walking history book of Costa Rican wildlife/history/and culture.. Erick’s enthusiasm is too fun”

Erick Picado (TL): “These days have been great hanging out with the kids!!!! I love seeing that they are enjoying a lot of our country and learning Espa¤ol… Pura Vida!!

Things are running smoothly and we’re starting to get a bit more depth in our meetings. I think I am going to check out one of their classes now. Entonces, es el tiempo para Espa¤ol! Thank you for sharing your kids with us we are BOLD EARTH!

Hasta luego

Lots of Love from Sheila and the CSI Crew
