Day 5

Hola from Costa Rica!  Today we woke up in Hotel El Establo in Monteverde.  We ate breakfast at their restaurant.  Then we got on the bus and traveled to the first school that we visited.  This school was named Centro Educativo Fernández.  This school held 25 students in grades 1-6. The students introduced themselves and we spoke about the United States.  We then took photos with them and left for lunch.

We ate lunch at the El Jardín restaurant, where we ate a variety of foods including rice, beans and chicken.  Afterwards we enjoyed smoothies from a nearby shop.

We traveled to the second school we visited that was larger with  around 400 students. We participated in a Zumba activity and played soccer with the students.  We had many interactions with the students  at the school and the students were excited to see us.

After this visit, we arrived at our next hotel El Parador in Manuel Antonio. We saw wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas and birds near the hotel.  We ended the evening with another delicious dinner.
