Rafting

Hey everyone! Long time no post-- we spent our last few days in a pretty rustic (and beautiful) beach area near Puerto Viejo, very close to the border with Panama, and there was no internet access at our hotel. Now we are back at the San Jose airport (safe and sound and with plenty of time to spare, thank goodness, after a 4 am wake-up call) and so I'm trying to play catch-up a bit before we board.

Here are some highlight pictures picking up where we left off-- first, the dance class at the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center:

And then, on Wednesday, white water rafting, a definite high point of the trip for many of the kids based on our final meeting together last night:

And afterwards, many of us were wiped out... some slept with their Costa Rica stuffed monkeys on the bus-- ah, Cuenca...


They are calling us to board right now, so those will be the last pictures I can share from Costa Rica-- I'll do a final post from back in New York! The snorkeling photos are really something worth waiting for...

Parents, best case scenario (if the plane is on time, Customs and baggage claim go smoothly and traffic isn't too bad) we'll see you back at WCCS at 5 pm. Fingers crossed! Kids, though wishing they could stay in Costa Rica longer, are very excited to see you again!
