In the morning, we all woke up and
got dressed in our swimsuits and sandals before breakfast. After breakfast, we walked across the bridge and down the road a tiny bit to the rafting company. As soon as we arrived we immediately got on a bus to the put in. We were all decked out in our
rafting gear to start but right before rafting, we all got a chance to jump off
a big cliff into the river and have the current take us back to our rafts. We
experienced “Class 2 or 3 ” rapids and snacked on pineapple and watermelon at the
half point. The rafting was a great experience, even though at some points the
rafts almost flipped over. When the current slowed down fully, we played king
of the hill and jumped on the other boats and tried to throw everyone on that
boat off. We also found two stray puppies back at the rafting company after that where 2 months old, they where
so cute. Then, after that, we came back to the Chilamate Eco lodge and ate
lunch. After lunch we finished packing up and we headed on the bus to go back to San Jose. We stopped by a souvenir shop on the way to the hotel and picked up some fun presents for our families. When we got to the hotel we were all impressed by how nice it was and how urban it was compared to where we had been. After dinner we did our last group activity: a candle ceremony. We all shared what it was that we would bring back from this trip. We gave Randall a card and thanked him for being a Slim* instructor. Bloggers: Eli & Miles</div>

We jumped in the vans and headed to the airport. We watched movies on the long flight, then had a long layover in LAX where we ate dinner and chilled out. We are all happy to get home but also sad that such a great trip is coming to an end. Pura Vida! </div>

On Thursday morning we ate breakfast at the Lodge again.
There were eggs and pancakes like usual and left the camp at 9:00am to continue
the service at the School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the school
we ate popsicles with the entire school that Davis provided and then finished
our last day on the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we
were done, we took a photo with the entire school on the bleachers that we
made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> After the Chilamate teachers thanked us for our work, Chuck and Zack said a few words about our experience working at the school. </span>After leaving the school we went
to the families’ homes for one last lunch to learn more about the Costa Rican
people. We all brought gifts for the families like soccer balls, frisbees, soaps, and SF souvenirs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we got back to camp we
had 15 minutes to change for the “Adventure Race.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> The race began with a masking tape challenge where we were taped together and we had to get to Randall without breaking the tape. Once we reached him, we drew from the bag to see what station we went to first. </span>We
all started quickly and spread out through the camp with maps and water in
hand. Three of the five challenges were in houses and the other two were in the
camp. The challenges included:<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
It was not exactly a typical because sticking together as a team was more important than speed and there was
plenty of time to finish. We were put into groups of four and told to
complete several tasks in the area. We all had a specific role- either the
navigator, the safety person, the person in charge of making sure we all drank
enough water, and the team captain. <span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It was a lot of fun.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">When we finished, we got to have free time to shower, relax, read or
play foosball. Then we went to dinner at 6:30- delicioso! After dinner, we had a surprise celebration. Randall told us he had something important to
talk to us about. We walked back to the
classroom, and they surprised us with cake and a piñata to celebrate Eli’s 13th birthday today. Randall and Aidan (Davis
& Megans’s son) did a slim* breakdancing performance, which ended with Randall
dabbing. With this, one of our major
group goals was met! Eli broke open the piñata and we all dove in for the
candy. Pura Vida! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We woke up with a cool breeze and noisy rainforest at
8:00 in the morning without any of the teachers asking us to. We all walked to
breakfast with sleepy, tired eyes and (some of us) poured ourselves coffee to
wake ourselves up. Then we ate! There were many types of food for breakfast,
the main ones being pancakes with syrup, eggs, yogurt with raisins, fruit such
as watermelon and pineapple, and beans with rice (gallo pinto). In addition to
that, there was also a cinnamon bread and a sort of breakfast tortilla
that was served to us. After the full but delicious meal, we had some free time. Many people rested in the comfy hammocks, calm and mellow, while
other people played foosball intensely. </span></div>

walked over to the Chilamate School, less than a mile a way. The work today was
different because the teachers were on strike; the teachers are on strike
because the teachers don’t get paid very much. Today we cleaned the entire school since it was empty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> There were three groups that
we were placed into; one made cement for the bleachers, one washed the walls
with brooms and mopped the floors, and the third group cleaned the dirt, rocks leaves, and garbage out of the canals or gutters. We began to switch off every 30 minutes and we even had two breaks of
soccer on the school’s field, which went on for about 30 minutes. After
the intense work, Davis gave us popsicles to congratulate us for our hard work. Then,
we walked back to the eco-lodge and we got ready for the families that we would
be spending the next couple of lunches with. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">We walked in the hot and humid sun to the families for about 15 minutes. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We were split into groups of 3 so that each group would go to a different house with a different family where they weren't going to speak any English at all! When
we arrived at the families, we all talked with the families, only in Spanish, a
little bit about ourselves and about them. We talked about how things in San Francisco and Costa Rica were different and unique. Then we were
served lunch by the family. Each family had different things, but ours had
dried and crisp bananas, fruit such as watermelons, and a sort of pasta. The
food was so different from the San Francisco meals that it was as though we’ve
never tasted such food like this. It was delicioso! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">After, we
walked back to the lodge to wait for the bus. When the bus came, we hopped on
and took the short ride to zip lining. When we got there, we signed a waiver and then took the bus to the start of the zip line. The zip lines were covered in
trees and branches but the views in open spaces were priceless. In total, there
were 9 </span>zip lines that we rode. The last zip line was interesting. From the 8<sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
line, we took a short ride to the start. The zip line crossed the Rio
Sarapiqui. The ride was at least 30 seconds long. The river was mainly rock but
the line was very high and fun.</span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day three in Chilamate,
Costa Rica:</b> We slept in today until eight o’clock in the morning and woke
up to the teachers saying “Breakfast time, it is eight o’clock”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We quickly woke up and hurried to eat
breakfast. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At nine o’clock we walked
over to the Chilamate School, a small school in the community that has kids preschool
aged through sixth grade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we
arrived at the school the students were having a school assembly about
indigenous people in Costa Rica, because today is Indigenous People’s Day in
Costa Rica.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were invited to join the
assembly and when it was over we had recess where we played soccer and
basketball with the students. Once the students went back to class we started
our work again on the bleachers for the outdoor auditorium. We shoveled dirt
and rocks between set bricks, then we made concrete and poured it on top of the
rocks and dirt to make the seats sturdy. <o:p></o:p></div>

Next, our friend, Rodrigo, picked us up in his bus drove us
to a farm. On the bus ride we were passing by a ranch with cows and someone
shouted from the back “Hey look, there are horses.” That was one of the
highlights of the ride.<br />

Later we noticed one kind of plant for as far as the eye
could see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a huge mono-crop of
pineapples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bus pulled over and
Randall taught us about how in some parts of Costa Rica the jungle has been
replaced by pineapple plants and banana plants. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He explained how the plants are treated with
chemicals and pesticides and we saw the machines that are used for this
purpose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we arrived at the farm a man
named Daniel, who owned the farm, met us there and we at a lunch that his
family made for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used to work for
Dole and Chiquita, which are huge companies that grow and sell pineapples and
bananas. Dole and Chiquita use so many pesticides and chemicals that it is
harming the river, the forest, Daniel, all his co-worker buddies, and the
children that are born. To this day Daniel has major health issues because of his
exposure to the chemicals and some of his friends have died from diseases
caused by the chemicals. <o:p></o:p></div>

Due to these experiences Daniel now he runs an organic and
sustainable farm. He gave us a tour of his farm and all of the crops that he
grows. His main crop is pepper, said to be the best pepper in the world due to
the spiciness of the pepper. As another
side business he also raises pigs and uses their poop (“caca” in Español) to
make a fertilizer that he sells to other members of his community to promote
organic farming rather than using chemicals.
He even uses the poop from the pigs (“caca de cerdo”) to produce methane
gas (biofuel) for cooking with and to run his lamps. His farm is fully sustainable. It was slim. </div>

After preparing for the day, we headed to the eating area for breakfast. For breakfast, they served pancakes, scrambled eggs, cinnamon toast, gallo pinto and Canadian bacon. After our morning meal and a few minutes of free time, we started to prepare for the big day. We had to pack some required items such as working gloves and rain coat for this certain day. Before we left to go work at the Chilamate School, we had lunch. Today for lunch we had empanadas for the main, and also some smaller items such as pineapple, etc. Then we took the very short stroll to the kid's school. When we arrived at the kid's school, we started by having recess with the kids. We all had an intense soccer match with most of the boys in the school. Their ages ranged from 6-7. This was a great opportunity to use our Spanish ability and talk with the kids. This morning, we learned that a common Costa Rica phrase is "Pura Vida" which can be used for many things. For example, if you said " Como estas? Pura Vida. It literally means pure life but it can be used as a response to how you are doing, as a question to how someone is doing, and to express thanks or wishing someone well. After the afternoon recess, we got straight to work. We worked at the school gymnasium and made and mixed cement. We also transported soil and rocks and into where the seats will be for the auditorium. We worked for about two hours. It was quite hard work. After we finished, we said our goodbyes to the kids and walked back to the eco lodge. We then proceeded to suit up and jump into the river. We only metaphorically jumped but we did encounter actual people jumping off a 25 ft tall bridge bridge into the river and yelling pura vida. Swimming around in the pool of the river for a while was really refreshing because it was such a warm day. Before the rain got summoned and resumed once again, some of us were able to kayak around. Thomas McClellan was flipped by the counselor and demonstrated his agility by escaping the kayak and coming back to the surface. Now we are preparing, for what most certainly will be a scrumptious dinner.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We arrived at the San Jose Airport at 7:00 am in the morning. We all were extremely exhausted because we had been traveling for 24 hours straight. Some people didn't even sleep the whole time. Once we arrived at the airport, we met up with Randall (our World Leadership School instructor) and Rodrigro (our driver), and he brought us to a small bus. We tossed our luggage through the window and into the bus. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Then everyone hopped on the bus, and we were off. While driving, we all looked out the windows and saw the real Costa Rica. Many shops and buildings were run down and most of the houses were small shacks. We learned, that day, of the poverty in Costa Rica, although nothing was said about it yet. Also, as we continued driving, Randall told us that we would go to a restaurant to get breakfast. The food there was slim. (A word used by 7th graders at Town to mean cool.) We had traditional dishes such as Gallo Pinto, Cheese tortillas, and Mexican pancakes. Some of us also had coffee, a lot of coffee, with sugar, a lot of sugar, and fruity smoothies or fruit juice. Later, we drove to the Chilamate Eco Lodge. We passed by volcanoes, rainforests, and rivers as we drove to the hotel. In total, we drove for about 3 hours to reach our home for the next week. Once we arrived at the Eco Lodge, we were introduced to the hosts. Davis and Megan introduced themselves to us, and we learned that Megan was from Canada originally. They also have children, and we met them as well. After, Megan showed us to our bunk rooms, and we split into our 3 bunk groups to unpack. We got settled into our places, and we had some free time to do whatever after. We played some intense foosball. Next, we had lunch of Gallo Pinto, or rice and beans. Afterward, we went on a hike to see all the plants and animals in the surrounding jungle. William was our naturalist guide. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We saw cool animals like poison dart frogs, the basilisk lizard and some cool plants. Later, we saw even more plants when we took a hike to Jaime's house. Jaime (an ethnobotanist) knew many things about plants. We rubbed a lipstick plant on our skin, ate plants that tingled and hurt in our mouths, and smelled the worst smelling fruit in the world. We also drank coconut juice and ate his homemade ice cream after. We ate Cocoa, which is used to make chocolate. Some plants were horrible, and some were good. All of them had unique tastes, smells, or sensations. Then, we came back from Jamie's house. Everyone took showers, had some free time to do what they wanted, and played foosball. After, we had dinner. This time, it was Gallo Pinto, but it was a different variation of the meal. There were black beans, white, brown and vegetable rice, carne asada with spices, steamed veggies, spinach soup, tortillas, and a very good warm pico de gallo type dish with corn, squash, zucchini, fried plantains, and many other ingredients. After dinner, we all played man hunt (A type of tag game played in the dark with our flashlights), and we had more free time. Around 8 p.m, we did an activity and talked with Randall. It was really </span></span></span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">slim</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> that day because we had a lot of free time, fun, and slim. (It's an adjective, noun, and verb by the way). </span><br />
