Today, to thank all the families for providing homestays for the program, we threw a party at the institute! Face painting, water balloons, frisbee, soccer, group presentations from Spanish class, scavenger hunt, and an awesome lunch with tasty desserts. Since my family lived 4 hours away from Monteverde and the party started at 10, I thought they wouldn't be able to come, but they did!!! I was so happy to see them again :) The day was fun, and relaxing, since we were cooped up at the station all week working on papers and tests. It was really nice to take a break and get fresh air outside. In just the 4 hours of the party, the weather turned from a shining bright day to a crazy downpour. Taxi cabs took everyone back to their homes, and it kinda seems appropriate that it would rain for the last goodbye. The two weeks were amazing with them, and I'll always remember my tica familia.
Dora and Alan are in the first picture, and Janany (who is the same age as me, I forgot to mention) is in the third. Elissa couldn't come, but Maria (a cousin, not pictured :\ ) took her place.
