Jess: I have made sooooo many Costa Rican friends!

Caitlin B: The nature and views are breathtaking and the air is so fresh. It's amazing to see how much oru audiences, especially the elementary school kids, enjoy the music. Mos tof them don't understand any of the lyrics, but they love it! It's incredible to see how music transcends language barriers.

Ana R: I love Costa Rica. I had a lot of fun singing at the mass and singing for the children All of it has been amazing and empowering.

Sarah L: This day twas one of the best days ever. It shall be put on the top ten days list (that I have in my head). And to top it off, an eight-year-old Costa Rican girl gave me a flourescently green lollopop.

Lexi: Today I had the experience of a lifetime. Even though we live completely different lives, some Costa rican girls and I had the best conversation in Spanish. One girl, in particular, Netty, was so outgoing to me. She told me about herself and even gave me a lollipop. When we were doing our final number, I brought her up to dance with me. That was probably the best thing ever because we were both laughing and dancing. When we fially had to leave, in Spanish, she said that she never wants me to go because I'm her best friend. I will never forget today.

  5. Hi Melanie, The pictures you have on the blog are really beautiful. The place and country have a lot to offer to the tourist. How is your arm? Your father thinks that it would be nice to have one of the monkeys come home with you.

    Can't wait to hear about zip lining! (Like THAT'S in MY future? Yeah! Sure!) Sounds like you're having a ball.
