As Mr. Cohen has been posting, it is probably clear how absolutely amazing it is here. Everywhere you go gives you an amazing view and a new appreciation for how beautiful Costa Rica is. Obviously the most rewarding part is the work we're doing for the Cloud Forest School. You can really feel their appreciation for the paths we've raked and holes we've dug in their high fives and hugs. Every smile we get just makes me want to work more - and it's not just in the school. Everywhere here you see so many people who are so appreciative of just the simple things they have. It has made me realize that all the things we have we take so easily for granted. Not everyone needs money and iPhones and a luxury house to be happy, and I think the more people realize that, the happier they will be.
