Me encanta Costa Rica

Hi, Michael here, today we worked a lot more on the project, we got some help from some local kids. It rained a little but we muscled through it. We painted a basketball court, and all of the posts yellow, and also a lot more things. We had the pleasure to see the smiles on all of the home stay mothers faces when we gave them our gifts. Me, griffin, and Georgia's home stay mom cried tears of joy, I almost did too. After lunch with the home stay families, we then waited for Davis to come and drive us to the chocolate tour. We observed the whole process of how real chocolate is made, it tasted amazing, nothing like a Hershey's bar. After that we waited two hours for dinner. We had tortilla, beef fajitas, black beans, mixed vegetables, rice, boiled eggs, and more. Now I am posting on the blog for the website at 7:13 at night, so as they say in Spanish, ¡buenas noches!

Hi Michael, Auntie Kim Here!!!...
I am so proud of you and your classmates and the work you all are doing and all the cool thing you are experiencing These are the kind of experiences that are life changing and character building which will only enhance the Cool Dude that I think you are. Make sure you take the time to fully understand the reason for your trip... Some kids (and adults as well) never get to leave there neighborhood/community/city... and you you and your classmates have traveled to another country to help enrich someone else's life and I am sure they will forever be greatful... BUT this experience should also enrich your life as well.
Again Michael I am so so proud of you and the work you are doing in Costa Rica and in your every day life... Enjoy... Your parents should be so proud of your representation of the family.

Love Ya
Auntie Kim
P.S. Call me as soon as you get home I want to hear all about the trip and what you learned... I promise to continue to log in every day to see what you all are doing ... say Hello to the Home Stay Families from Buffalo, NY
