My volunteer vacation in Costa Rica

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

Its hard to choose one thing about this week that I enjoyed the most. This has been one of the most exciting and rewarding adventures of my life. I really enjoyed riding the horses to the waterfall and seeing all the wildlife. Its especially interesting when you have a local guide like Mario who knows most everything about the mountains. Another one of my favorite things was seeing what new and delicious foods we would get to eat everyday. Each family had their own special way of preparing the dishes and it was all incredibly good. All the people in this town are very friendly and they make you feel right at home. I am defiantly planning on volunteering with Globe Aware again and hopefully come back to El Sur in the next few years to see the progress they have made and help out again. I wish all the best to El Sur and its residence and hope to see it again someday.
