News from Madeleine

Today we went to see the Bribri tribe. We got there from a dug out canoe. That is the only way to get there. On one side of the Yorkin river was Panama and on the other side was Costa Rica. Did you know Costa Rica means rich costa.the Spanish named it when they first came here because so of the native people had precious gold necklaces. It turns out those were from Columbia. I am having so much fun here, but also learning. I met some people in the village one was named Fabien he was 8 and was so polite. I was amazed at how happy he was playing with us. We are all safe and having a blast!
