Hola from Costa Rica!!!

Hello LCS, Costa Rica has been awesome so far. It is only two days in and I am having a blast with my classmates and miss all of you guys a lot. We had quite the experience sleeping in the airport and probably got an hour of sleep at the very most, but we had a blast doing it. The plane rides were quick and easy. The first day was a long one because when we got out of the airport in Costa Rica it was humid and we had not eaten or slept for a while so we were pretty miserable. We have two awesome tour guides named Dustin and Pow. They have been an absolute joy to have as tour guides. We have been in shops and got to go to a gorgeous waterfall today that was truly one of Gods finest inventions. We got yelled at for trying to go behind the waterfall and I was annoyed because I was already three quarters of the way there and it was a tough swim. The food has been really good and we have not had any stomach issues as of yet. Knock on wood. We got to go to hot springs this evening and had VIRGIN strawberry daqueries while we swam. The area was gorgeous and nobody got bit by a poisonious snake which there are plenty of here. God has been so great with getting all of the luggage here on time and with keeping everybody safe. We have ziplining planned for tomorrow which everybody is pumped for. We are looking forward to serving the local people here and also to get home and see you guys as well. No doubt we will have lots of stories to tell. Shout out to my favorite 6th graders who I hope are reading this!!!! Love all you guys and miss you,
