Blog Number 7

Blog Number 7
Hola!
The next day we woke up and milked a cow!  We were very sad to leave after meeting this great family and having delicious food, but it was still exciting to set off to the next location on our adventure!  The homestay visit was a very humbling experience for me.  It was eyeopening in the sense that there are people who live out there with a lot less than us that are happy and content in life.
The rest of the day was dedicated to…DRIVING! For about 5 hours! …but finally, after all the driving, we arrived to the most beautiful hotel I had ever seen with the best view of a volcano in the whole wide world!  It was an ECO-lodge in la fortuna, and it was absolutely gorgeous!  The pool by itself was marvelous! We immediately ran to our rooms, out on our suits, and jumped in the pool! It was so refreshing!  Then we went to a great restaurant recommended to us by Javier and ate good food and drank a pina colada out of a pineapple!  Lastly, we got to visit an amazing hot spring!  Boy was that relaxing after all the days of business visits and staying in san marcos!  I felt like a new person after we left that night!   We also got to enjoy a delicious dinner provided by the hot springs place.  We ate steak, fish, chicken, salad, rice and beans, and got to drink a really good fruit punch with dinner.  We got to meet a lot of different people there and enjoy a really neat experience.  This was my first time going to hot springs, and I hope it won’t be my last!
