Last Day in Costa Rica

Como estas Cincinnati? 
Today was a relaxing day involving the talent show, a beach hike, the cool pool, and leaning how to open coconuts.  We walked along the rocks on the beach and enjoyed a quick dip in the ocean.  On the hike we learned how to crack open coconuts with only a sharp stick.  We drank coconut water and also learned how to make coconut shavings.  We all jumped in the cool pool as soon as we arrived back at the lodge.  We hung out for a while today and enjoyed cheeseburgers in paradise with frieda for lunch.  The hot spots while hanging out were the hammocks, the beach, cabins, and any quiet place where we could rehearse for the talent show.  About an hour later, we gathered hermit crabs together to decorate and race.  The crab of Grace Dayton, AKA Sally, won multiple race championships and also best decorated.  After a good celebration, Aunt Randy was generous enough to accept the request of cookies for a afternoon snack.  Thank you Randy :)  
The talent show was very thrilling to say the least.  From magic tricks, dances, stories, songs, and finger boarding.  We have pretty much covered all talents.  
A long and exhilarating stay at Morgan's Lodge is about to end.  We are sad to leave but excited to see our family and friends back in Ohio.
We will see you soon!  Have a good night!

Sincerely,

Kiernan, Alexandra, and Hope

Pura Vida!

  2. Sister fresh it is G-money again. I gotta say I'm disappointed in you. I won the hermit crab race back in my Costa Rican days and you were to continue the legacy, but you let me down and for that I'll never forgive you. I hope you're happy now. Anyway it sucks being an only child and I had to sing both parts of our high school musical duets by myself today and it was horrible. I don't know how you're going to last when I'm off to college! Oh well, you'll figure it out later. I hope you're having a splendid time and I love and miss your crab race losing self! Kissy kissy -Georgia
