Hello everyone!
We are having an amazing time here in Costa Rica. Last week we finished building cement steps up to the town´s salon comunal, which was very labor intensive and a huge accomplishment.
On Friday we took a well deserved day trip to Playa Samara to spend the day relaxing at the beach. On Saturday, the town of Matambu hosted its third annual Festival Cultural; all day students saw traditional dances and shows, ate delicious local foods, and even organized games for children. We then took a two night excursion to relax and swim at a beach town called Montezuma.
We have since returned to Matambu for our last few days in town and the goal of finishing up our work and saying goodbye to our home for the past four weeks. Today students are visiting the high school, planting coffee at a local coffee farm, and painting benches around town.
Tonight the town is hosting a traditional bonfire and asado in our honor and on Thursday we head off to Monteverde for a coffee and canopy tour before our final stop in San Jose and a day of white water rafting.
There is no doubt that we will miss our friends and the community of Matambu, but we are also excited for our coming adventures. All is well here!
