Not only will the students return home knowing how to speak Spanish, but they will also know how to cook typical Costa Rican burritos! Before class on Thursday, the students attended a cooking class held in the kitchen of CPI by one of the CPI cooks, señora Beatriz. They participated in each part of the process, from chopping onions to grating carrots, from frying the burritos to washing the dishes! After enjoying the burritos and salad they prepared, the students attended their classes, then had a relaxing evening at "home" with their host families.
This morning, we experienced by far the most adventurous excursion yet: the canopy tour. Once the zip line staff helped the students put on their safety gear, we hiked into the forest, always heading farther and farther up into the canopy. As we arrived at the take-off platform, we realized just how exciting this was going to be! The tour consisted of zipping from one platform to another, sometimes just from tree to tree, and sometimes across an entire valley! It was absolutely exhilarating - and a little scary - but everyone did it!
Today, they enjoy their last day of classes and say goodbye to their wonderful teachers and the incredible CPI Monteverde staff. We will miss them!
Saludos!
Natalie
