Day 6 - To the Beach!

Although I could easily spend the entire trip in Monteverde, our students insisted we follow the planned itinerary and we made our way down to the Pacific Ocean and Jaco. On the way, we stopped for a boat tour of the Tarcoles River and took a gondola ride through the treetops. The students are starting to show signs they are seasoned travelers as our travels become smoother and our children become more confident interacting in Spanish and solving problems for themselves. Popular google translate queries include phrases like “How much for three scoops?”, “Can you unlock the bus?” and “I’ve locked myself out of my room... again.”

Tomorrow we board our buses at 6:30 am and head to the beautiful beach at Manuel Antonio!
