Hasta la Vista
Today is the final full day of our long journey across Costa Rica. Our sun-weary students made their way to the buses this morning with bags full of sand and memories to last them a lifetime. Today was spent winding our way back to San Jose with stops for souvenirs in the town of Sarchi, known for its artisans and beautifully painted wagons. Tonight we will spend some time at the hotel's pool sharing stories before heading to bed early. Two of our three flights have very early wake-up calls and the third will make us all jealous by sleeping in and spending a morning at the pool. This being my fourth trip to Costa Rica, I must say that the students were absolutely wonderful the entire trip. We received constant compliments from our guides and hotels (no small feat for 80+ middle schoolers) and there were very few times when students arrived anywhere late. They can now consider themselves seasoned world travelers and I sincerely hope this is a habit they continue! Thank you, pare
