After our last few days spent in the village finishing up the soccer net (which was a huge hit for all community members), creating a beautiful mural for the school, nearly finishing our promised work for the English classroom, teaching four days worth of English classes to ages 5-18, and eating our last helpings of gallo pinto and banana bread, we are off to our next adventure.\u00a0 Saying goodbye to Coralillos was not easy, as we gave our final speeches, watched memorable traditional dances performed by the children, loaded up on coffee beans from the local co-op, some tears were shed for sure.\u00a0 A bittersweet feeling felt by all, the juxtaposition of sadness to leave met with excitement for final travel.\u00a0 And on to the beach!!!<\/p>\n
Uvita was very good to us.\u00a0 Sunshine and lazy days at the beach.\u00a0 A beautiful pacific view from our hotel.\u00a0 Surfing in the rain (everyone stood up!).\u00a0 Jungle hikes to a secluded beach.\u00a0 Olympic games in the fresh water lagoon.\u00a0 Gorgeous beach caverns peaking through to the blue ocean on the other side.\u00a0 Pool competitions filled with underwater somersaults and relay races galore.\u00a0 Evening showers and yellow flowers.\u00a0 Pink sunsets and chilled coconut water.\u00a0 Sunburnt bodies and sleepy faces.<\/p>\n
We loaded the bus this morning to head toward San Jose, our final stop before we head home.\u00a0 Tomorrow we have a super early wake up to start our day white water rafting.\u00a0 Everyone is stoked and ready for our final final adventure.<\/p>\n
To all of you back home, we love and miss you and cant wait to see you soon!<\/p>\n
