We started day four off with a
wonderful waking and had breakfast at the Chilamate Eco Retreat. We then did
some bonding activities with our group before we headed off to Colonia Caraval
(a small village) to meet with our host families. Here is where we will be
staying for the next five days.
When we arrived we visited the very small and colorful school for about
five minutes. Then we went to meet
our host families. Some people did their laundry, milked cows, played cards,
saw toucans and visited neighbors. When some of us visited the neighbors where
other schoolmates were staying, some communication errors were fixed and
everything was okay. We all realized that all our families severed a lot of
rice and beans!
Today we were all up by 6:00 am,
had breakfast and left to be at school by 7:00 am. When we were walking some of
us met Costa Rican sweat bees up close. When we got to school we introduced
ourselves and played a lot of games.
We are getting set to clean and paint the fence at school. This
afternoon we will visit a coffee farm and soap making place. We are having a
great time and look forward to what’s ahead of us and continuing to share our
experiences.
