Walnut Hills has Talent!

March 28, 2010

 

Our last day on the Osa....it seems like so much has happened in just one week! Today was our "chill" day. We had a group go into town to go shopping, and others that just stayed at the Lodge to enjoy the final day at La Finca Guanabana (Morgan's Jungle Lodge). The talent show was on the agenda for the evening so we all had some practicing to do on our routines throughout the day. After a delicious dinner of fresh Mahi-Mahi that "Uncle Gary" grilled on the beach, and excellent Gallo Pinto made by Jacky, we had the evening entertainment with the talent show! Prior to the show, our driver Marvin had a lottery where he had us all pick numbers out of a hat. The winning number was....Ariel(our little Mermaid!). Marvin had gotten some souvenirs from town as the prize(after pretending like he gave an empty bag of some trash!). Even though he doesn't speak a word of English he manages to make us all smile and laugh!

The talent show had a surprising amount of inventiveness! We started out with the "Stawberry-Cicle Girls" (because they were all a nice shade of pink and white) singing it's "A Party on the OSA" with lyrics to the tune of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA". This was performed by Abby(Mr.Schnure's daughter), Crosley, Maryn and Mary Cate.Then we had Shelby,Ammarin,Melanie and Graham singing "Nature"(an orignal song they wrote). Very clever and funny. Next up was Ariel and Walter singing "Summertime" which was sultry and just right for the weather. Chas and Adam did a dance-who knew these soccer dudes can dance like that? Mr.Schnure,Jane,Walter and Nick entertained us with "Hey Hey We're the Monkey's"...singing into their banana microphones. And last but certainly not least we had India performing a rousing edition of Tina Turner's classic"Rolling on the River" with the Hot Mama's as the back up(Arienne,Briaonna,Moira,Ann and Linda) dancers. 

Our CostaRican judges took their jobs very seriously as you can tell from the picture....The winners were:

• India and the Hot Mamas-1st Place!
• Chas and Adam-2nd Place
• Ariel and Walter-3rd Place

A good time had by all.....

Next we had a bonfire on the beach and roasted marshmallows. We said our good-byes to our new CostaRican friends. I think the girls will especially miss Killian who they all think is "muy Guapo"! 

See you back in Cincinnati!!!
