Day 8: From Monteverde to Samara Beach

Hello! Today we traveled from the mountains of Monteverde to Samara beach on the Pacific coast. We left very early and ended up having to take a detour due to traffic. It was a bit frustrating, but proved to be a very scenic trip. After we got settled in our hotel and ate lunch, we met up with the directors of CREAR, a non-profit organization that provides education and arts activities for local children. We got to meet some of the children at their after school program. We played a game and made friendship bracelets. We will see them again tomorrow! After playing with the kids, we walked to the beach and swam in the ocean. We all enjoyed watching Jake and Greg pretending to be island castaways. It was a great day! Pura Vida!
