Bloggin'in Paradise

Moira and Gary at the internet cafe, sharing our adventures with you!

Hi all, what a trip we are having! Gary and I have been having fun administering this blog....as you may tell from the photo, the open air internet cafe is right on the beachfront and the view is just gorgeous! Not a bad place to blog! We have to come into the town of Puerto Jiminez in order to connect to the internet.

The kids have been great and it has been fun to watch how they have all bonded and become friends over this past week! It is hard to believe that just a week ago, most of them barely knew one another. They have been so much fun.You would be proud of them...they often come to ask if they can help and we often take them up on it! They all have been eager to try all the new experiences and have learned why this is such a special place on earth! They also have learned that the people here are happy even though they don't have all the "toys"like Wii's,cars, iPhones and in some cases, not even any electricity!!

Today we have had a tour of an organic chocolate and coffee farm called Finca Kobo. The tour explains how they farm using organic techniques. You'll hear more about that later, but I have posted some photos in my previous post as a preview!

The trip is winding down, but the memories will last a lifetime! Thanks for sharing your children with us.

You're gettin a little sun there Croz. Head start on the summer tan, eh? Ha. Sorry to hear about the ping pong loss. That's tough but 2nd place ain't bad. Anxious to hear about the organic coffee farm. Sure you impressed 'em with your coffee expertise. All is well here. Your little bro has a housefull of friends over this evening (I'm hiding in my room). Glad you guys are making the most of this trip. Many thanks to all you teachers, parents and Captins for looking out for this crew.

Hello team I'm so happy you all are having a joyus time and getting not only to learn about the way of life in Cosat Rica but each other as well. Im sure when leaving some of you have probably never spoken to each other so you all have really gotten a 2 for 1 on this trip.. EXPERIENCE AND GAINED A FRIEND...Now everytime you walk down the hall and see that newly gained friend, your gonna smile/giggle due the memories you all created together...Enjoy one another....I miss you Briaona...Love mommy

So glad you are all having a wonderful time. The pictures and blogs are awesome. I really like the story about the gang of monkeys. Feels like we are traveling with all of you. Speaking of blogs, Adam, when are you going to do one. Love Dad

Hey Adam, way to go Ping Pong Champ. We woke up to snow this morning, yuck. I am sure you enjoyed the dulce. You are number 2 in the bracket. I love it when you smile. Mom.

Moira and Gary, I am so happy that Graham was able to participate in this great adventure. It is truly a trip of a lifetime. It seems like they have been gone a long time even though it has only been a week. I love to see their smiling faces.

Love the rivers

Our heritage is based on a profound love of our rivers. The founders had it in their blood and it is here where we like to cast light on the great outdoor experience.
