between writing and our data gathering for the faculty led
investigations the time seemed to go so fast. then it
was the last night - crazy. we all gathered fire wood and
built a big bonfire on the beach. it was so fun because
everyone was singing and playing the guitar i even got to play some church
camp songs - which was a blast!
in the pictures above you can see the fire wood gathering expedition
and the group that gathered after to watch the sun go down. we
were all looking for the mysterious green flash - although no one
every really saw it haldre swears it exists - i don't know....
after the fun evening of singing we got up early to leave for san
jose. on the way we took a ferry and stopped at some
mangroves. the mangrove tour was lame...i could have done
better, but the ferry ride was cool because i swear i saw a shooting
star in the middle of the day - no really i did!
you can see that the ferry in costa rica is nothing like the ferry in
washington state. notice the car hanging bumper end off the
platform and only held on by a thin rope - it would never fly in the
states!
i was a little motion sick from the bus ride, but the boat was
relatively calmer and i really enjoyed the views of the gulf of nicoya!
