Day 3 and half of 4

Day 3 - we got to school by 9 to get ready to kayak! We were taken to the south beach in little trucks. There we got our life jackets and a quick tutorial on kayaking before we were off! Jared was the brace one who took the single kayak while the rest of us used the doubles. We kayaked a mile out to Isla Chora and once there went swimming. Thankfully none got sick in the way out so we were all able to enjoy the island. After drinking some water and swimming, the guides got out the snorkel equipment and gave a quick lesson on snorkeling. Everyone snorkeled around and we saw some fish, a starfish, and an octopus! There were lots of rocks too. We then headed up to the island to have a snack of fresh watermelon and pineapple before hurrying back to the mainland. We still had to eat lunch and change before class, but I knew we weren't going to make it on time, so the kids got a bit of a shorter school day :) After classes, it was threatening to rain pretty hard so we postponed the bonfire but decided to watch the big game between Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago which was at the same time that our bonfire would have been. We missed the first goal and had to leave before the end of the game (because of curfew) but it was a fun experience and Costa Rica won! Today we had class at 8 and all the kids are super tired! It was nice that we had a long lunch break before our volunteer session with CREAR. We will be leaving for that soon and then heading to play some 5 v 5 soccer . Here's hoping that the rain is done for the day as it rained all morning and for much of the lunch break. Tomorrow we will get to sleep in and have a lazy morning as our dance and cooking classes don't start until 10! Hasta mañana!
