The Last Day!

Remember the room below from the Day 3 blog?? It was filled with all kinds of stuff!

Well, today we officially finished the Communal. What a great feeling for everyone! We celebrated with a day on the beach, taking turns surfing (without an instructor!) and enjoy our last afternoon in Costa Rica. After the surfing stint at Playa Samara we headed over to Playa Berragona, an exciting beach filled with some exotic wildlife. Once there, Charlie Foerster, owner of C & C Surf School, threw an awesome barbeque. We all hung out together enjoying the food, company and the serene beauty around us. The sunset was incredible and the stars shined brightly with the only light around being our bonfire. For tonight's blog it seemed appropriate for the Triskallian team to give some thoughts on the students and the experience as a whole. Here they are!

Hello everyone, this is Jesse, Peter and Brian from Triskallian Tours. We just wanted to take a moment to let you know what a wonderful experience this has been on our behalf. Tomorrow morning we send the group off to the airport at San Jose. Earlier this evening, in a rare moment away from the kids, the three of us were reflecting on how it's going to be a bittersweet morning. It will be very sad to see them go; we have formed real, lasting friendships with each and every one of them. However, we are also excited to see them take what they have gained and extend it into their daily lives. We genuinely look forward to keeping in touch with them and watching them continue to develop into young adults. These mixed emotions often accompany the end of a voyage, and it is one of our favorite parts of traveling. It is partially this feeling that inspired us to start this company, and to be able to share this with a group of Peddie students we have come to care deeply about is rewarding. - Peter, Jesse, and Brian

PURA VIDA!
