Cultural exchange prep

Today we went into the town of Turrialba and were able to roam and fully immerse ourselves into the Costarican culture. Many groups decided to buy local snacks, fruits and were able to see the beauty of the church. Today was also our second phone call home which brought up many emotions for many of us and was an experience that we all missed.

We traveled today by public bus, which was new to a lot of the students and it allowed us to experience a part of their day to day life. The students experienced many different types of wildlife like snakes, birds, and more. Some were very interested and some were more cautious around these different animals. It is very different to what we are used to back in California, but it is very cool to see the different types of wildlife. Tonight we will end off with a movie night chosen by our leaders Chloe, Rosemery, and Izzie before our first CAP work day.
