Today was our last day at Finca La Anita. Many of us woke up
tired after staying up a bit later then we normally go to bed. This was because
we were doing last minute editations (patent pending new word) to our project.
We presented our projects shortly after breakfast. The first year students went
first followed by the second year students. They were very interesting and we
learned a lot of things from each other. We also had some other people from
California who came to watch the presentations.
Once the presentations were done we had Amy from the Peace
Corps who came and told us about what she does here in Colonia Libertad,
working with the locals on community and economic development. Afterwards we
walked down into the nearby village and helped them weed a parcel of land for 2
hours, the locals were very happy with our hard work!!!! They gave us food and
some really good peach juice. We learned that the resort we are staying in is
vital to the economy of the village. After the great snack we went to their
shop and had the opportunity to buy some homemade soap :) Then we walked down the
gravel road and played football (soccer) with the locals. It was a rousing and exhausting
game. Then we had a bit of free time and most of us used it to relax and then
we went to dinner. Now we need to pack because we are off to Horizonte tomorrow
after breakfast! I am really glad we don’t have to leave Costa Rica yet.
