            The trip thus far has been a life altering experience; every day has been a new challenge that the group has conquered. We’ve worked hard and had strong connections everywhere we have been. The school and orphanage have had the biggest impact. The weather is fantastic and everything is beautiful. Today we went on the white water rafting trip, where I was paired with a guide alone, due to my rafting experience. His named was Roberto and he was very informative about the nature, history and culture of Costa Rica. The highlight of the rafting trip was spotting and saving a Howler Monkey from the river with Roberto. I am absolutely adoring Costa Rica and know my further journey will lead me to extraordinary experiences.
