The adventure with my mom is coming to an end. Our trip was so amazing, it's hard to describe it with words. From swimming in a pool at the base of a waterfall, watching monkeys from our river kayak to riding horses to the top of a mountain, all of our experiences were incredible.
We packed up and sadly left our little beach home in Samara this morning. We both knew this day would come, but honestly, I didn't think it was going to be so difficult. Ester and Miguel, our new Samara family said they hoped to see us next year as we boarded the "gringo" shuttle to San Jose. So I guess we have to go back next year!
Unfortunately the ride back to San Jose was like riding a fishingboat in the middle of a storm at sea. I am glad that my mom brought a plastic bag because I thought I could have used it at any moment.
San Jose is not the place you want to spend any of your vacation time. So as my mom heads home to the daily grind of life in the States, I will be boarding a bus headed eight hours south to a small village called Punta Banco. Here, I will live among 200 Costa Ricans for four weeks and help to save one of their iconic species the sea turtle.
This is where one chapter closes and a new one begins.
