Today was quite a day to say the least. As it is our first day back after returning from Manuel Antonio, we start our day off with some cooking and soccer. We learned how to make Empanadas, Refresco de Piña y Papaya, and Tajeta. A lot to learn about how Costa Ricans make some of their common foods and drinks. After cooking class the men (Mateo, JanCarlo, Josh, David, and Gavin) started playing soccer in fairly temperate weather bt continued to play as the weather worsened with rain. Nothing stopped these men from playing a fair game against a group of locals in Costa Rica. Going to school later, we completed our daily classroom work and proceeded outside for our interacrive games. We played "Pato, Pato, Gonzo"(Duck, Duck, Goose), Ninja, and Musical Chairs, which ended up with a broken chair and a debate about who won.

Hola soy Olivia! Today was a day full of adventures! The day started early with breakfast at the hotel. With so little time and so much to do we headed out bright and early to Manuel Antonio National Park. After a short ride to the park, we separated into two groups and started our guided tours. My group was guided by Diego. Along the way we learned about the types of animals and plants that are in the forest. We were lucking enough to see white faced monkeys, crabs, and two and three fingered sloths. We also had time to spend at the beaches inside the park. A little later in the day, those who chose to go zip-lining had an amazing experience. We went through nine cables and a monkey drop. The monkey drop was was kinda scary in the beginning but definitely worth it. Once we got back to the hotel we had some down time and many of us we spending it at the pool.
