We finished our last few days in Costa Rica with a bang--encountering wildlife, ziplining through the rainforest, and riding ocean waves! 

Our first few days in Costa Rica got off to a rocky start when all but two of us got food poisoning, but we all recovered and are ready to explore again. 

Our buns were a bit sore after biking through the rocky streets of Antigua, but we were rewarded with views of old churches and traditional Guatamalan desserts!

We climbed a volcano and rode massive waves, but don't worry, we're all alive to tell the story!

Settling in with our Guatemalan host families and growing accustomed to days full of speaking Spanish

We're ready to sharpen our Spanish-speaking skills and escape the frigid midwestern winter for warmer temperatures in Central America!
