Wednesday, August 7th

Today we spent our last morning at Finca La Anita. We woke at our usual time of 7:00am and headed to breakfast at 7:30. For our final FLA meal we had granola and cereal, fresh bananas, watermelon, and pineapple, and omelets with rice and beans. After breakfast we packed our vans full of our boots and luggage and headed off on a 2 and a half hour drive to our new destination. On our way, we made a pitstop at a supermarket in a nearby town. Everyone stocked up on snacks and drinks for the rest of the trip and for the upcoming plane rides home. We all bought goodies including Costa Rican favorites such as plantain chips, and Yippy candy bars, as well as some classics back at home such as Cheetos, Pringles and Oreos. After a long car ride, we finally arrived at our destination: Horizontes. Horizontes is on a national reserve in the heart of the dry forest. Once we arrived we were fed a delicious lunch of white rice, black beans, beef medallions, and salad. To drink we were given a tasty tea with hints of mango and peach. Once we devoured lunch, we got settled into our new rooms. Each room has 2-3 bunk beds and that's about it! We have coed, communal bathrooms and showers. Once all of us got situated in our new rooms, we headed out to the homemade soccer field for a quick pick up game! Afterwards, we gathered at the classroom on site for a few discussions and presentations about our future plans for the last few days.
