Daily Dilemma

We would like to bring some rocks, feathers, turtle eggs, and other things that we have found back to the United States when we leave Costa Rica. We have been collecting these things with the thought that we would bring them to school visits. However, we are not sure if we are allowed to bring these things back with us. What should we do?


 

Pika say's good-bye

After being with Eric and Dave for about 3 weeks, there's nothing else I can say besides "Muchas Gracias". I must admit that at the beginning I had no idea about you guys, and now I can tell for sure that you are the best "tuanis maes"(TWA-nis mi - cool dudes, in Costa Rican Spanish), and your program is just amazing.

Pika has helped us in so many ways since we've been in Costa Rica. Here Pika helps Frosty identify a bird.

A Snowy Egret wades on the shore of a muddy river which is home to hundreds of species of birds.

I also want to thank Ecoteach for your great program and endless support, Mami and Papi who gave the chance to play with the "outside" and become who I am, Gaby who always waits for me. And of course BG (the expedition vehicle) who took us around all the time with the greatest music ever. Tonight I am pretty much saying good-bye, but I am sure there's going to be a next time. All of you kids and teachers: remember we are not the owners of Mother Nature, we are just a little part of it. Peace and Pura Vida!!

Pika

Pika is going home to San Jose tomorrow, and Dave and I will continue to stay on the Pacific Coast, looking for waves to go boogie boarding on. We can't believe that The Rainforest Project is almost coming to an end. We will surely miss Pika

We've traveled to the Pacific coast to see how it differs from the coast of the Caribbean Sea. The Pacific side of Costa Rica is much rockier and hillier.
