Dear Parents,
Kelly and I will not be returning home. We have decided to stay and live in Costa Rica.
Ha, just kidding. We are sad to leave this beautiful place, where they have so much respect for the environment and the wild animals. Many countries and people could learn from this culture in that area. We certainly have.
In addition to this, Costa Rica also has a lot of fun things to do. Today we went zip lining across the rainforest canopy near La Fortuna. The only word to describe this experience is liberating. It was a series of 10 different zip lines, all at different speeds and heights. The tallest one was about 400 ft up going at the speed of around 30-45 mph. We had an incredible view of the waterfall Pinoblanco as we flew down the zip line. We were a little hesitant of the whole idea at first, but now we would do it again in a heartbeat. On top of that, our guide Robin was pretty great, making sure we knew about safety along with keeping us laughing.
After the zip line, we all met up in La Fortuna for a farewell dinner. It was delicious and a great way to end the day and the trip.
Another thing Kelly and I realized from this trip is that Toucans are better Monkeys. This statement refers to a ongoing dispute between us and the boys; pertaining to cabin names. So the record is straight-we love toucans!
And you should also be hearing from us soon agin, about the final report of our research.
Until then- PURA VIDA
I hope that all of us will be on the concerns in preserving the environment, For all the things that are happening today causing lives at stake, we better change our mind in focusing in to what the environment can do to us.
