Day 4

               Hello people of the United States. Today we started with breakfast, some of which was pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, beans, rice, plantains, and fresh fruit. After breakfast we went to a school called Escuela Turin with only 5 children. The school ranged from 1st to 6th grade, less students than grades!
We greeted and said our names in Spanish. Then we did our service project for them which was painting one of their walls which had faded. We re coated it with a darker one that will stay that color for a while. T Karen helped us paint flowers and great designs when it dried. One of the students named Axel, one of the students wanted to play football with us so we played catch with them for a while.  After that, we ate lunch with them which was rice, chicken, vegetables, and pineapple juice. Homemade and very delicious!
We played sardines with them and freeze tag but after a while we had to go. then we left to go zip lining in Monte Verde, only 5 people went Simon, Manny, Jackie, Noah and Hope, everyone else enjoyed the time on the suspension bridge. The views were amazing and so was our experience. There where 18 platforms and 13 zip lines, and everyone who went were happy that they took the risk of going on the best zip line ever.  Then we left to have ice cream and had a special treat from the Monte Verde cheese factory, and we enjoyed it as well. Then next we went to buy souvenirs in Monte Verde where we all got soccer jerseys for the Costa Rica vs. Guatemala soccer game on Friday.  We all looked so fly.  Finally we had dinner of pizza, and tomorrow we are going horseback riding and we know we will enjoy it as much as we have the rest!
peace and pura vida.
Sincerely,
 Simon y Manny⚽
