Thursday was a relaxing day. Students had the morning free to finish up their shopping and lounge by the pool. After class, we went to bed early to get a good night's sleep for our snorkeling trip the next morning.
Early Friday morning, we set out from Tamarindo Beach on a large catamaran, complete with a friendly crew. We rode past lush, green hills with rocky cliffs, and stopped near a small island to snorkel. On the boat, we were treated to freshly cut fruit, smoothies and snacks. We even found and got to touch some sealife: a puffer fish and a starfish!
After lunch in Tamarindo Beach, the students have their last class and say goodbye to their Flamingo Beach teachers. Tonight, we will have a farewell fiesta on the beach and enjoy our last moments with our little "familia".
The students have formed such strong bonds that they are already exchanging their U.S. phone numbers to stay in touch, and planning to visit each other! Through all of their experiences, whether they were fun or challenging, the students supported each other and grew as individuals. They will return as better people and as better Spanish-speakers! I'm so happy to have gotten to know each one of them on this trip. Thank you for providing them with this opportunity!
Pura vida por siempre!
