Today we left San Jose for Jaco Beach. Because we did not go to the school today, we got an extra hour to sleep in. After breakfast we loaded the bus and said our goodbyes to Kathia, Deen, and the staff of the Diocesan House. With the combination of the luggage and the entire group, we were wedged into the bus like sardines. San Jose is an urban center surrounded by mountains covered in lush foliage, making the bus ride out of the city a picturesque one. The further we got from the city, the greater the distances between houses became. Soon, the views were of hilly pastures and farmland, with the occasional farm house. When we were about twenty minutes from Jaco, we stopped at Crocodile Bridge to stretch our legs and see the crocodiles. The bridge spans a moderately sized river, that just so happened to be filled with crocodiles. As we walked out onto the bridge, we looked down onto a horde of very large crocodiles. It was truly a sight to see, but Fernando encouraged us to move on in order to have a full day at the beach.
When we got to the beach, we split up for the afternoon. Some of us walked around the town and explored, while others took to the beach to surf and swim. Around 4, we started to trickle back in to the condos and swim at the pool until dinner. For dinner we went to a taco bar that had swings for seats. Dinner was delicious, and afterwards we went to Pops ice cream store. When we came back to the condo, we had devotion and worship to wrap up the day. Tomorrow will be filled with zip lining, surfing, and massages. Tomorrow promises to be a great day to decompress from a week of hard work and we hope you will continue to keep us in you thoughts and prayers.
Gob Bless,
