Hello everyone. Since we returned from Tirimbina it's been pretty busy with schoolwork and such. Last weekend on Saturday nearly the whole group went out and had a great time dancing. Today we have no class because it is Independence Day! Last night and this morning there were parades and lots of activities for children. Yesterday in ACM we had an Independence Day celebration. We ate traditional food such as tortillas, Costa Rican coffee made the traditional way, picadillo de platanos, and many other things. Also, three professional dancers came and performed traditional dances and also taught us some dances. It was very fun. Also, yesterday was Stuart's birthday so we had a delicious tres leches cake that Ivette made!
Today we are all just doing our own things with our families or homework. We are all getting ready to go to our rural stays which is coming up soon on September 25th. Some of us will be on the Caribbean coast, some on the Pacific, and some more in the center of the country. Everyone's projects are very interesting. Some of the places people are staying include a pineapple plantation, medical center, cacao plantation, and elementary school. It's going to be a great experience for everyone!
