¡Costa Rica 2014!
Summer of our lives.
The Costa Rica trip sticks with me, because of all the great memories we created, experienced with one another. On the trip I learned to be be humble, and cherish who and what we have at home. Relationships are important, whether the person is five miles away or 3446 miles away: its great to have international connections. Most people on the trip became adventurers- they tried things they thought they wouldn't. Fingers crossed, we hoped for the best, exceeding our expectations.
I am still in touch with my home stay family from Costa Rica through Facebook. We share new experiences and events in our lives. I hope that one day I can revisit Costa Rica, or that my Costa Rican can come visit me one day here in the U.S. While in Costa Rica, I made so many new friends. I met three other Diegos, which to me was awesome because I have never met another Diego before. I only keep in touch with one of the Diegos, our tour guide, he is some one that I will never forget and will always be willing to take me back.
White Water Rafting
Muscles tightening,
Bodies rocking and swaying,
We tackle the rapids and all its endeavours,
Down the river
Over the currents
Off the rocks
Thrown into the water
now swimming the current.
Drake Bay
help us stay afloat.
Basking in the sun and water,
from the beach, we watch the dolphins ride the salt water
Exploring the deep blue sea,
the jellyfish weren't my cup of tea.
Staying here,
has left me without words.
Arenal
high in the sky,
glistening is the lake below,
we realize how beautiful it is,
We want to stay.
Bus Rides
riding in a bus for quite some time,
singing along to our songs,
Listening to Bohemian Rhapsody,
snapping pictures along the way,
Befriending one another.
Home Stay
We all stayed with loving families
to learn and admire in their homes,
to play soccer on the fields,
to cook in their kitchens,
to cherish and immerse in their culture
We wish we could have stayed longer.
