Thursday, March 24th Costa Rica Day 6th

This is JT and Caelin reporting live from La Fortuna. We got up at 6:50 and packed up our stuff and moved it to the dinning hall where we had our last meal at the Eco Lodge.  The breakfast consisted of eggs pastries and empanadas.  When we packed our stuff into the truck we said good-bye to the friends we had made.  As we drove off we yelled "adios" to the chilamate school that we helped.  We drove for about an hour and a have until we got flagged by the police. We waiated for about ten minutes as the driver got a ticket.  After that we got back to driving.  When we got to the hotel we pulled our bags to our rooms and got settled in.  We then walked to lunch and had steak rice and plantain.  We talked for a while and went back to our rooms.  We got our bathing suits and played for a while in the pool.  Then we did a great activity called marketplace of ideas. The game is were we partnered up and wrote about what we could do to change the school in chilamante. After the game we went to a fun waterpark which turned out to be bad luck for Ms. Hytken.  As she was going down a water slide she hit her head and blacked out. Chris had to take her to the clinic.  After wards a ambulance had to take her to the hospital(how many of you can say you have been to a Costa Rican hospital. 
    When we got back to the hotel Ms. Hytken greeted us with a big smile and a big bump on her head.  I am proud to say that Ms.hytken had a good attitude and was able to laugh about the accident.  We changed out of our bathing suits and gathered into the dinning hall for dinner.  We had refried beans and rice with chicken as our second meal in La Fortuna.  We then did the last part of the market place of ideas activity.  We had to make a brochure and sell our ideas to the other groups.  After that we got ready for bed and took our first warm showers.

Glad you are okay, Ms. Hytken, and still smiling! And here we were worried about the kids getting hurt...

Glad to hear that Ms. Hytken is ok and doing well. Sounds like yesterday was quite an adventure with the Hytken head bump and the speeding ticket! La Fortuna sounds great. Have a great time and can't wait to see you. Bonne chance!
