As many of you probably already know, this past weekend there was a group of us that went to the beach in Jacó. It was a beautiful 2 and a half hour bus ride through the mountains. However, a few of us felt a little sick by the end. It only cost 1700 colones, or about $3! Jacó is located on the Pacific coast and the beach we went to was a black sand beach, which I guess is pretty common of the beaches in Costa Rica. It was a great experience!
Yesterday we all took a dance class from one of the country’s most famous dancers. His name is Ronaldo and he came to ACM to give a class. We all learned merengue, bachata, salsa, and reggaeton. It was extremely fun to see everyone show off their dance moves! There is a show here equivalent to “Dancing with the Stars” and Ronaldo has a couple that is competing in it right now so he told us all to watch on Saturday. You can also vote for them.
Tomorrow we will venture to Sarapiquí to stay in the rain forest and visit a cacao plantation. This is the plot of land that the Milwaukee Public Museum bought and is used for research and other things. It will be a great experience! We will see the sloths there that the director of ACM Costa Rica, Chris, has studied extensively. The Sarapiquí is located in the province of Limón which is the coastal region on the Caribbean Sea. We are all excited to go!
