Day 37-41: Turrialba, Cartago, Costa Rica -- 10/20 to 10/25/15

Had a great couple days in Turrialba, the hometown of one of our leaders, Rolando! 

We spent a couple relaxing days exploring the city, doing some team building activities, repelling down some waterfalls, and a 3 day rafting trip! It was a good little vacation before our two weeks of homestays in Turrialba, with Spanish classes every morning and service in the afternoon. 

I already notice my Spanish is becoming faster and I am more comfortable and confident talking, asking for things, and explaining in Spanish. I still have a lot of work to do though, and hopefully these next 2 weeks will give me the push I need. 

Here are just a couple of pictures from the past couple of days! 

It was my first time doing yoga. It was taught in Spanglish. I was struggling just to touch my toes. Great way to start the morning! 

This was the view from the lodge we stayed on our rafting trip. The river is down below and was roaring all night. It was beautiful! 

Here was part of the creek where we hiked to slide down a natural water slide! 

Here's the water slide! 

Anyway! I'll keep you guys posted with more about my Spanish class, service, and homestay experience the next couple of weeks! 

Until next time!
