We are all experts at Costa Rican mosquitoes now! Haha, yeah, we have bug bites, but we’re tough cookies and malaria was eradicated here in the 1980′s!
Good news…we survived the BriBri lifestyle! After living in bug nets while wearing Deet and using a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night, we now have a greater appreciation and understanding for other cultures. We also learned how out of shape we Americans are. One of our BriBri hosts took us on a “short” hike to Panama, but we returned six hours later to guzzle down all of Central America’s clean water after giving up and never making it to our original destination…although we did make it to Panama!
We also learned that our professors have quite the affinity for song and dance! Our first night with the BriBri, they played music while Dr. Lehman and Steve taught us some American folk dances that fit the Latin American music. It was a hilarious image, and we got Heather Manring to boogie!
We should have internet again on Sunday night before we leave. Love you, miss you, and we’ll see you all soon!
