I'm back home and it's great to be back, although I will miss Costa Rica and all of my travel-mates.
Since I last posted I visited two really wonderful schools. The emphasis on environmental sustainability at all of the school we visited was really impressive. I'm posting some photos of a school in Heredia. Three ninth grade boys were our tour guides and did an excellent job.
They took us on a nature walk through the forest on their campus where they have a butterfly house and a trail called "Jurassic Park." They also showed us their recycling center, where students bring newspapers etc. on a daily basis. I'm also including a couple of photos taken in Turrialba, which was a very nice place to spend a couple of nights.
It was the experience of a lifetime and I feel like I really got to know the people, and the country well. Hopefully I'll get back there in the not too distant future.
I love seeing all the photos of your travels and reading about all the people you've met!
ReplyDeleteAmy, thank you for doing this blog. I am happy for you and envious of the phenomenal learning experience you had. I just loved reading about all of your adventures and seeing your amazing pictures! Costa Rica is now on the top of my list of places to visit some day. I'm excited to hear more about what you learned, the curriculum you designed, and to see more of your pictures!
