Lost of cool attractions

This week Steve was off to Costa Rica, to visit the outreach team there, after Gemma came back from visiting the other half of the DTS in the Dominican Republic.

There are nine students and two staff on the Costa Rica team, which arrived about two weeks ago, from Panama, where they did their first month of outreach.  This week we worked at a Children’s ministry, in one of the worst neighborhoods in Costa Rica.  We don’t have any pictures of that, because I didn’t bring my camera, for fear I may get robbed.

On my last full day in Costa Rica, we went on a fun day to an eco-park called La Paz Waterfall Gardens, where we got to hang out, have fun, and see some really exotic things from monkeys, to jungle cats, butterflies, waterfalls, and a whole lot more.  I got lots of cool pics, and a couple of them are here in this post.

Next week, the team will actually be spending part of their time sitting in on Spanish Language classes.  One of the Mexican students will be sitting in with the intention of learning how to teach Spanish as a second language, as she hopes to do it at our base after she joins staff here at the conclusion of the school.

The following week, the team will be in the jungle, where they will finish their outreach, before heading back to Ensenada for debrief and graduation.  In the mean time, Steve has to get up ridiculously early in the morning to catch a flight back to San Diego, but he’ll get to spend the weekend at home with Gemma and the kids.
