Anticipation


This blog post is a homework assignment for adults in preparation for our trip to Costa Rica! We ask that you read the post and practice posting a comment so we know you can read this.

The hope is that while we are in Costa Rica we will be able to post entries at least twice. We do not have internet access where we are staying (Nacientes Palmichal) so it will involve a hike into town, time to do so and luck. We will also be dealing with very slow internet and are not sure we will be able to post photos- we will try.

Nacientes Palmichal is located about an hour and a half from San Jose in the area of Palmichal de Acosta, but its not developed enough to be on the map yet. Created in 2002 with the intention of conserving the rivers that supplies five communities with their fresh water, the facility itself consists of a dining room (commedor), a lodge (posada) and a classroom (aula) all surrounded by dense vegetation and a variety of little gardens that range anywhere between flowers to medicinal plants.

Please feel free to post comments as you read the blog and we will pass them on to the kids during the trip.

    Have a wonderful time! Come back and teach your parents something.

    BTW -- are you sure you don't need a parent volunteer along? I'll bring my passport to the drop off just in case...
