After lunch, we rode to a neighborhood park that had a soccer field. The kids were ages five to fourteen. We played two games at once. It was great because USA (our groups) won both games. It was very intense and lots of fun.
We shared a snack of fresh pineapple, watermelon, and bananas during halftime.
We came back to the Eco lodge and swam in the river. We had a few team building challenges in the river and struggled to succeed.
Before dinner, we learned about different functions of the brain during leadership training.
For dinner, we had fried chicken (a treat!), rice, beans, lentils, salad, and squash soup. We thought dinner was amazing!
After dinner, we went on a night hike through the rainforest. We saw many different types of bugs and plants as well as possibly discovering a new species of cricket which Cole named radioactive cricket. Our guide had never seen that species in his whole life and he was about 50 years old. We thought that was incredible.
After out night hike, we had ANCHOR time to reflect on our thought of the day. Then we came back to shower and get ready for bed.

Wow! It sounds like you all are having productive AND fun-filled days and nights! It's great that you've had the opportunity to get to know the local kids and learn more about life in Costa Rica. We are really proud of the work you're doing at the school. Love getting your updates and photos!
