Happy Mother's Day!

Feliz Dia de la Madre - Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all. We miss and love you guys for all you do and how you care for us so much!

 The group takes some time to think about and say "Thank You" to their mothers.

 While in the rainforest, we saw many types of wildlife, especially frogs and birds, including this one.

During the hike, we luckily spotted a howler monkey and his friend.

 We took some breaks for pictures, to see sloths, moneys and giant spiders, but made it back safe and sound.

We all gathered in the classroom after our hike to discuss what we saw, the homestay and how to successfully meet halfway with our families.

 While simulating our different cultures, our objective was to switch shoes with others without talking, along with dealing with other obstacles. This was an example of us practicing finding the middle ground culturally in our homestay families.

 After signing the board for our Mothers, we made some strange expressions to express our gratitude.

During the final day at the Eco Lodge, we were engaged in intense card games, enamored of wildlife, and challenged by simulated cultural barriers. We're about to leave the lodge for our first afternoon and evening with our homestay families!

Sincerely,

Richter Jordaan and Eric Bear
