A few days after graduation....The Boy and a few friends/students from The JSA as well
as a favorite teacher/second Mom.....left for Costa Rica. They spent 8 fun fillled....adventure filled...days
in what The Boy calls..."The most beautiful place in the world!"
The Boy's camera was filled with pictures of lush landscapes....
And some crazy man who thought playing with an alligator was really fun.
I personally found this a little disturbing...but I am quite sure that the boat filled with teenagers...
who sat close by...were thrilled and delighted.
The crazy man....also brought a baby alligator aboard the boat for everyone to see up close,
Pretty amazing that something so small, cute and seemingly harmless...could turn into something
so fierce, ugly and ready to remove a limb at any given moment....wow!
The Boy found his long lost cousin Ben's...look-a-like...also on the trip.
Cousin Ben is serving a mission in Argentina at the moment...and The Boy misses him terribly.
The Boy and Friends also visited a volcano..it sounded like to me it may be semi-active....based on The Boy's description....they did a Canaopy Tour...zip lining in the jungle, which he loved....they also visited a school, where they presented the students with school supplies that they had brought with them.
They played a game of soccer...and had a great experience.
They also had the chance to plant a few trees....
eat alot of black beans and rice....enjoy a soccer match between Mexico and Costa Rica...
(which by the way Mexico won!), they made some new friends....the old friends were able to
"mend some fences" and just have a totally great time!
A trip of a lifetime...a perfect closing to the chapter of "high school"....now on to more
great experiences!!
