saying goodbye to our new amigos
Then, after lunch with some local families, we had a brief down time back at the hotel before we embarked on an adventure race. The students split into four groups of five and had five stations or checkpoints that they had to pass through: Salsa dancing, water challenges with a raft, making a tortilla, milking a cow, and having an interview in Spanish. The last three were done at the homes of nearby Costa Ricans who welcomed us into their houses for this game.
