This morning we went ziplining! The scenery was amazing and you get quite the view from above the tree tops. We could see Arenal volcano which was incredible because that is quite a distance away from Monteverde. It really confirmed that from that height we could see for miles. I was so glad that everyone went too. Some had a little anxiety, but everyone was brave and conquered their fears. We were pros by the end! The staff at Sky Trek was so nice and helpful and really made the experience worthwhile. I got some great pictures and videos, but it will be something that I never forget.
This is our last day at CPI. We don't have Spanish class tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow morning has always been a scheduled free morning. We are going to take the time to enjoy our last day in Monteverde, walk around the town, spend time with our families, work on our Inquiry Projects, and just enjoy one last day of being immersed.
Tomorrow I hope to begin organizing my paper. I have gotten a lot of really good information over the past 3 weeks. I plan to look over all of my research and to start drafting my paper. I would like to plan out the organization and layout and how I want to present all of my information. Through this process I will also be able to see which areas I need to do more research on once I get back home.
I'm sad to leave my host family. They have been so great and welcoming. Floirella is so funny and brings so much life and energy to the family. I will be sad to leave her. We have had some really good conversations and since she knows English, she is able to explain things to me that I never would have understood in Spanish. She has taught me so much and my time with her has been really insightful.
It's a bittersweet ending. I am sad to leave my host family, but I am ready to see my own family. I am so glad that I came on this trip and I will really take a lot from it. I have learned so much and really value the time I have spent here.
Pura Vida!
