I like my first, general post. But I thought I should be more specific in this one. We are going to Costa Rica!
Cross Cultural Solutions is celebrating its 15th anniversary by offering reduced rate trips to alumni. Since we volunteered in Peru in 2008, we qualified! So, for a very small fee, we are able to volunteer and travel in Costa Rica. Our placement is in Ciudad Quesada, aka San Carlos. We will fly into San Jose. A CCS driver will pick us up, along with 14 other volunteers, and drive us 2 1/2 hours north to San Carlos. We will live in the CCS house for a week, working in the morning and learning Spanish and taking fieldtrips in the afternoon. All meals are included.
After our volunteer week, we will have 5 days to travel a bit in Costa Rica. Not enough time, but we'll make the most of it. I have not completely planned where we will go, or what we will do. Top choices so far are visiting the hot-springs, zip-lining, seeing the cloud forest (wait - don't we already see that every day...), and touring a coffee or cacao pantation.
I have been so crazy busy that I have not spent nearly enough time sorting out exactly what we will do. Maybe that's a good thing. Spontaneity could work.
Anyway, we're all very excited to be doing another CCS trip. And especially excited because my mom will be coming with us this time. The only problem is I usually do my blogs for her, and since she'll be with us, who will read this one?
