Day Ten

Hello! My name is Cassidy DiRemigio and I would love to tell you a little bit about a day in the life in this beautiful Central American beach town. Our amazing trip is now coming to an end but we are not sad that it's ending, but happy that it has happened.  Today we had an eventful day, starting off by heading over to surfing lessons where Danny and his crew threw us into the picture perfect ocean and tried to help us catch some waves! I did struggle to stay on the board but it was a great experience and I learned a lot (and a couple of us nearly died).  The group was delightfully surprised when we were greeted with pizzas stacked high, waiting to be eaten for lunch. We also had the opportunity to go to a local ice cream shop were I enjoyed some homemade walnut and caramel ice cream! Back at out hotel we all jumped into the pool to play many rounds of Marco polo where Alex entertained the teachers by swimming aggressively towards his victims. Towards the end of the day every...

Hey guys, today in the morning we saw the mariposas from the ladies in the village. They were supposed to have some blue butterflies by they had all died because it was too hot.  Then we got to look around the town. There's a little convenience store that we got some snacks from. Then we went to the lab and started on our scientific propositions. After that, we went to get lunch and then went back to the lab for more scientific propositions.  We were at the lab for all of the afternoon making sure that our propositions were good. We got dinner and then went back to lab to present our proposals and it rained really hard and was very loud.  There were SO MANY bugs at the lab, we saw a queen bullet ant. Now, we are back typing our blog................ Thanks for reading, we miss you and the internet. Bye!      Dorothy & Luke T

Day Nine

 Day 9, Hello everyone!!  This is Belle, Sophia, and Charlotte, reporting from Costa Rica, near Santa Cruz. After departing Finca La Anita, we began our journey to Hotel Tatanka! After around 2 hours in the van we stopped at the "MegaSuper" grocery store to get some snacks. After a bit longer on the road, we came across a flooded road that we couldn't cross. We decided to wait out the flooding, and went to grab something to eat! Where everyone got a yummy slice of pizza! The flooding died down and we were able to make it to our destination.  After arriving we got suited up to head to the beach down the road, where we learned about the different tracks turtles make, asymmetrical, and symmetrical.  A leatherback turtle from nose to tail is as tall as Alex! Then, we got to enjoy the beach, play in the water and explore the sand. The waves were big but the water was very refreshing. We headed back to the hotel to eat dinner. Dinner was soda, beans, rice, chicken, and sal...
