Dear Readers,
Today was our last day staying at the Chilamate Rainforest
Eco-Retreat. We were all sad to leave the lodge after almost a week.
To start off the daily recap, this morning, Hannah, Aidan,
and Brooke went for a morning walk which was accompanied with many birds and
misty rainforest canopies. After having a tasty breakfast, we headed out to go
zip lining through the jungle. The
course consisted of 14 lines and 9 platforms and a few shrieks. Everyone had a lot of fun navigating the jungle
with their leather gloves, harnesses, and helmets.
We then proceeded to head back to the lodge for lunch. This was our first lunch at the lodge since
we started eating at our home stays on the second day of our trip. It was a delicious lunch and great to tie up
our stay at the lodge. We spent the rest
of the time doing final trip evaluations and hanging out.
A few games of “Egyptian Rat Screw” later, and we were
getting into the car to our San Jose hotel.
A hearty goodbye from Megan and Davis sent us on our way.
It took us about 3 hours to reach San Jose, where we are
currently all cooling off together after the long, cramped car ride. We will be at dinner at 6 o’clock and
afterwards we will be completing more evaluations. After a short rest tonight, we are going to
the airport at 4:30 AM for our flight.
It’s been a great trip and we’ll see you all soon!
Signing out,
Tommy, Hannah, Chase, Aidan, and Bruce
