Day 8


Dear Gringos,
Today was our last day with the kids at the school L.  Instead of working, we played with the children for hours playing many different games like Uno, American football, soccer, and many others. We were surprised to a community celebration in honor of our work later on. We ate rice, macaroni salad, refried beans with chips, and the kids even put on a dance for us! There were relays, a piñata, and a balloon popping game. Then there were teary goodbyes (for the girls), small gifts were given to all of us, and final hugs. We all agree that we will miss the community, and even though we are ready to head home, we will always keep this awesome place in our hearts.
Now the daily report (non-sad stuff); after we got back from the school, we were planning to go to the artists market nearby, but it was already closed.  We then decided to take one last swim in the Sarapiqui River, though it was very murky and muddy after the rainstorm. After this came 45 minutes of solitary reflection time writing all around the property. So once again, folks, this brings us to the present moment, blogging and playing cards (Egyptian Rat Screw has been banned for obsessive reasons). As long as there’s internet tomorrow, we will blog once again! Goodnight ‘Murica.
