A Day at the Beach

We looked for a sporting event. We searched for a show. We tried to find a movie playing nearby. We really could come up with nothing fun to do that seemed captivating. So...we decided to do something we've never done on the Service in the Sun trip. Something our students have asked about year after year. We went to the beach. That's right. We hopped on a charter bus and rode about two hours westward, landing in Jaco Beach on the Pacific coast.

The weather was perfect, and the water was unbelievably warm. The kids had a great time.

The pictures should speak for themselves. Hopefully they will all be up on Dropbox at some point soon. For now, enjoy this group shot.

Tomorrow we depart bright and early at 8:45am for Monteverde. We will stop for lunch on the way and arrive at our homestays in the afternoon. We will then ride the buses to school Monday morning to begin our work.

Stay tuned for another update Sunday night if internet is available (or Monday morning if not).
