In these pictures:

First is our Cooking Class at CPI, Monteverde.. don't we look stylish in our hairnets?

Next are pictures of when we read to and worked with students at the Monteverde Public School, I like the picture where I'm sitting on the ground in my skirt and muddy shoes.

Next are pictures from the Trapiche tour.  It was pouring that morning but Emily, Terri and I got to ride in the Ox cart. We saw an example of how they make Sugar Rum (although its illegal now) and also the big vats where they mix the sugar cane.  There is a picture showing how we got to help make the candy.  It was almost too sweet to eat! almost...

Next are the pictures from our hike at Santa Elena Reserve. There is a picture of me standing inside a tree and of the crazy stairs we took through the reserve. Next is the tower we climbed and the amazing view we saw at the top... Thats Arenal Volcano in the distance. After about  five minutes at the top the clouds came in and Sonia took a very cloudy/windy picture of me.

After the group shot is a picture of me teaching a lesson at the Monteverde Public School. Technically it goes before the pictures from the Reserve but I dont have the patience to try to move it there! I taught in almost all Spanish with some help of course. :)

More pictures tomorrow..
