Costa Rica is a rough, steep, green country and is very cool “Pur Vida” as the ticos say. I thought not speaking Spanish was going to be a problem, but it wasn’t. I learned a few say words and was able to use motion. Probably not far off from cave people, bit it worked.
I expected the rainforest to be much more dangerous. I saw no boas hanging from trees, but I did see a “Jesus Christ Lizard” running over the water. I did see one good size non-poisonous snake, macaws, parrots, and butterflies.
The people here were great. They really seem genuine and sincere. I felt really welcomed in each home. The food was delicious. Practice up on your soccor skills- they kicked my butt and almost blew out my legs for the duration of the trip.
Our leader was great, Sarah made it a lot of fun and handled everything with ease and a smile. Thank You!
