Walking Tour and US Embassy


On Tueday we were treated to more insights about the history of Costa Rica and her dreams for the future. Pres. Arias has visions for leading the country in the direction of being world leaders in the area of sustainability and environmental preservation. We attended a lecture given by Dr. Pedro Leon last night on Costa Rica's environment, as well as the world's needs to be much more conscious of our choices. Each of us can make a difference even through the small choices we make, for instance turning off lights and electronics when they aren't needed, turning off water while brushing your teeth, and recycling.
Our group also had the honor of visiting the US Embassy. That was truly an honor to be able to see the embassy and meet with representatives of our country and hold discussions regarding The United State's role in environmental sustainability.

  1. Very impressive opportunities you've had today. Sounds like you need to get a few more hours of sleep so you are ready for the bus ride tomorrow. I think that is tomorrow... It will be good to talk with you and hear about the ideas on sustainability, and the view of what the U.S. can do from viewpoints outside the country. So, you might be away from internet connections for a few days. Take the break from posting, and rest. I'm sure you will have plenty of wonderful experiences in the next few days. We'll be looking forward to the next time you are able to tell of your adventures. Jack says next time we see you we hope you can tell us what new Spanish words you've learned. Do you have a favorite word? Good day!
