Day 4 - MVHS Costa Rica

We started our morning by visiting a local school. We preformed for them and learned about the way their school was set up. We even got our hands dirty helping with the school farm where they teach how to cultivate and manage food sources. The children were very excited to lead us around their school while telling us their favorite parts. Students also have certain uniforms for each grade level which is to help with view each student equally regardless of their home lives. We stayed in town but split up for lunch and shopping. We saw many small shops and markets with a beautiful garden and waterfall on the middle.

We then took a short drive to go zip lining.
Although many of us were very anxious everyone enjoyed zip lining. The workers were full of enthusiasm making many jokes along the way and even going upside down on the line. At the end of the lines we were given the chance to rappel about 75 ft which some of us didn’t do but we all watched in amazement and terror of the ones who did.

We went back to our hotel and preformed around the pools. After that we drove down the street to more hot springs and pools ranging from 65-104 degrees Fahrenheit. We ate a buffet style dinner and this was our first place to offer desserts and even a chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows. Sadly their water slides were closed but we all enjoyed all the springs and the overall favorite was the hot spring with 2 waterfalls and bubbles almost like a hot tub back home. This was a great way to relax after such an eventful day.
