Costa Rica will never be the same!

 Our amazing trip to Costa Rica!  Here are the cloud forests we drove through on narrow, wind-y roads.

Audrey becomes fast buddies with fellow team mate, Morgan.

 Body boarding on the beach at Jaco.  Teaching the girls, then not seeing the boards again until we left.

 Hiking rain forests most days of the week we were there.

Visiting downtown San Jose, Costa Rica.  What an experience.  Very fun to see the fusion of latin with modern, with colonial, with american culture.  What a unique place.

Helping out in an orphanage for 2 days, seeing the girls play together, love being together, then crying when it is time to say goodbye.  What a neat experience.

Playing soccer in the Heredia stadium.  One of the best teams in central america, and we were there, in their stadium for 4 days, being trained by expert coaches.  And the tournament was really neat.  It made every one long for an annual cultural exchange.

Catching soccer fever with the rest of  Costa Rica.  Audrey and Chad wearing the Heredia uniform.  World Cup began, and seeing the country celebrate after their first surprise win.  Very fun to experience.


 Ziplining near Arenal Volcano.  Here is Audrey, brave enough to volunteer to go first!

Canyoneering in Lost Canyon with Desafio adventures.  definitely a high-light of our adventure!

And finally, white water rafting with Desafio - on the Sarapaqui River.  Great times, fun to share with each other.  I am sure the start of more adventures like it.
