Hello friends and family,
Today has been a long day of travel, we have moved from
Finca La Anita to Horizontes. We plan to
begin our sea turtle excursion tonight in hopes of catching a turtle laying her
eggs on the beach.
Today, we traveled on smooth pavement roads for the first
time in a while, and that felt amazing compared to the gravel roads near Finca
La Anita. We also had time to go into a
grocery store in Liberia to buy snacks.
When we arrived at Horizontes, we had lunch and about an
hour to rest before we listened to two speakers. The first speaker was someone who worked for
the National Park system in Costa Rica, and the second was a marine biologist
who specializes in sea turtles. Dr.
Nathan Robinson, the second speaker, will be the one taking us to the beach
later tonight. We have high hopes for
seeing a turtle, as the last two groups have not seen one.
After we finish writing the blog, we are going to play
soccer with some locals, which should be fun!
Looking forward to seeing you all when we return Wednesday
night!
Love,
Everyone in Costa Rica

Hope you saw some turtles last night at the beach, and we look forward to hearing about your outdoor sleepover. :) It's hard to believe that you are all headed home tomorrow. We can't wait to see you!!! We are very proud of all that you have experienced and accomplished during these past 10 days. xoxo
