Day 10 in Costa Rica: Domingo, 23, Mayo 2010

On Sunday, we had a buffet breakfast of fresh fruit down by the pool. I spent several hours by the pool before we checked out at lunch time. The majority of our group spent a couple of hours at the beach.
We traveled to Monte Verde to meet our new families for the next 2 week stay! What an exciting adventure! The scenery was incredible as we traveled up one mountain after another. In several places we could see the pacific ocean in the distance. The paved road ends about an hour from Monte Verde and becomes a broken rock/gravel path to the top of the mountain. We had been told that the road sometimes has dangerous washed out sections during the rainy season! Luckily for us, it was not raining!!
My new family is a young couple, Allen and Helen. Both work in Monte Verde. They are very sweet! Allen said on a clear day you can see the lights on the beach at Puntarenas. It should be an interesting 2 weeks! Many hills to walk to and from school and most of the roads are not paved!
