The last few days have been amazing! We did so much, many are unimaginable. From hiking through the rainforest during the day and experiencing a night hike where it's completely pitch black with only our flashlights at hand. We also walked on a suspension bridge. Here, our guide instructed us to turn off all the lights to listen to the sounds of nature and the stream of water below us.
Each day was an adventure. We also visited the Bribri tribe, located in the southern part of the country. The group rode on canoes -- The ride was absolutely breathtaking. Although it rained, we still managed to get to our destination with no trouble. We learned about the tribe's way of life and learned their process of chocolate making without any preservatives. I must say the chocolate was delicious! The kids loved it! While there, the kids learned about the students' way of life. It was definitely an eye opener! We had the opportunity to visit the schools and dropped off school supplies and sports equipment. The kids definitely realized how fortunate they are! Maybe they won't take things for granted.
