 Hello!

Today we had an exciting adventure in a small tourist town called La Fortuna. The town is centered around Volcan Arenal (which hasn't been active for 13 years). We first visited a beautiful waterfall where we climbed and swam between rocks and enjoyed the mist and cool water. After that refreshing experience, we climbed back up the 500 stair flight to get to the bus. Then, we got the chance to explore the town—we got to pick which restaurant we wanted to go to and enjoyed some souvenir shopping and free time. On the way home, we stopped at a lake to take pictures. We were so lucky to see the volcano free of clouds. After a long day of swimming, eating, and sightseeing, we are ready to retire to our homestays and to rest up for work tomorrow. 

We can't believe we only have 2 more days of work before the beach! We'll be home before we know it and are looking forward to hot showers and the comforts of being back, but are sad anticipating saying goodbye to the community here. 

Pura Vida, 

Chase and Savannah
