Greetings from Costa Rica! Today was a hard working day, but
luckily we were given a separate job which sheltered us from the smoldering
Costa Rican heat. Instead of tediously painting the fence, we landscaped the
playground and school area with jobs such as weeding, raking and blowing the
leaves, fixing small problems with the playground, and digging holes for the
bases of rainwater plumbing systems for the school. Other than working, we
played many different games with the kids such as duck duck goose and soccer.
Also, many little kids got excited when Hannah taught them English words and
phrases. Bruce and Chase also gave candy and cliff bars to the children in our
home stays and they were very excited! After we returned from our home stay
lunches, we had a meeting with Megan (the owner of the lodge where we are
staying) and she told us the story of her life and how she got to where she
is. Altogether, the day was VERY hot yet
very productive. We are having an amazing time and are excited for a night hike
that we will be taking tonight. We miss you all at home!!
Love- Hannah and Bruce (:
P.S.
Bruce- Mom I found my rubber bands after dropping the other
bag into the river.
Hannah- Hey mom! I found that note you left for me in my
backpack! Thanks so much! Hey Dad! I still haven’t seen any sloths yet or
toucans but don’t worry I will take a lot of pictures! Love you guys<3
