Ziplining, Homestay Goodbyes, and Rafting!

We've been enjoying the last 24 hours doing many adventurous activities. Starting with zip-lining, there was nervousness among the group at the start, but all nervousness was gone by the final zip-line. There were 13 zip-lines, and a few over the Sarapiqui river. After zip-lining we had an adios party at Eric and Mason's host family's house. We had a delicious dinner and performed a talent show for all of the host families. Along with our talents, some of the local girls in our community sang and danced. We ended the talent show with a group song of "Hey Soul Sister." After the talent show we headed home for our last night with our home stay families. In the morning, despite the fact that we recently met our host families, we sadly had to say our final goodbyes to the wonderful families who shared their houses with us. Then, we left El Paraiso and headed to raft through the amazing waters of the Sarapiqui river near Chilamate. It was very exciting, to be riding in a raft through white water. When we finished we changed and walked back to Chilamate Eco-Lodge to have lunch. All in all, the last 24 hours was a successful combination of emotion and adventure, and we appreciate the opportunity to have such an unforgettable day.

See you soon,
