Day 4: June 24

Que me dice mae? Pura vida? We started the day at the Chilamate School teaching and playing games with the first, second, and third graders. Even though it was only our second day with the kids, we were able to form close bonds and overcome the language barrier. It's amazing how the kids love such simple games such as duck, duck, goose and tag. Later in the afternoon there was a huge thunderstorm and we waited it out together in the open dining room. The thunder was so loud! After the storm ended we went to a neighbooring house and learned how to make empanadas! It was so fun! We came back to the Chilamate Eco Retreat and hung out with Meghan and David's (the owners) kids, Lluvia and Aidan!
Tomorrow we are heading to La Fortuna for a fun packed weekend of hiking, zip lining, and relaxing in the hot springs, so we have to get to bed early!
