Don't we look refreshed and enthusiastic?  This was the first day.

Well Bloggerites,
This is the last night we are in Costa Rica.  It has truly been an adventurous trip.  Like any great group, we have had our ups and downs.  Times when we don't think we could do anything else, only to be uplifted by some amazing act within the group or from our new Costa Rican friends.
Today was our "Sabbath" from working at the church.  We spent the day in the rainforest located in Braulio Carrillo National Park, about 50 miles east of San Jose.  We rode an aerial tram through the rainforest that covered the three levels of a rainforest.  Then we were able to have a guided walking tour of the ground level to learn very fascinating facts.  Then we traveled for another hour and a half to the Saracaqui River to take a boat trip.  We saw some amazing animals, howler monkeys, iguanas, toucans, and green macaws, among other creatures.  We are spending our last night preparing for the trip home and playing cards.  We miss everyone at home and can't wait to arrive.
