Reflection of the Day

On Day 6 we left our homestays after an abuntant 11 hours of sleep. Our homestay family made us a delicious breakfast consisting of eggs, ham, bead, and always the delicious Costa Rican juices. We ventured the a coffee plantation to use our many hands to help a local farmer pack his coffee beens into the soil compartments. At the end we climbed a mountain and saw one of most beautiful views of the Costa Rican country side.
