The Perfect Ending To A Wonderful Trip

Day 10 was a perfect ending to a wonderful trip, (science, research, and the culture of Costa Rica). We began our day with a long hike through the dry forest of Horizontes Research Station. Our guide, Julio, was an excellent source of information as we made our way through the thorny brush and muddy trails. When we finally arrived back at the dorms, we got to see a large troop of monkeys in the trees. After lunch, we took off for an afternoon in the sun, surf, and BBQ on the beach.

The remote beach, only used by locals, is several kilometers long with white sand and clear blue water. The students spent all afternoon playing in the surf before eating skewered beef, chicken, and pineapple (slow cooked over a pit fire). Nothing but the best for a job well done.

Thanks to all those that made this trip possible. Pablo y Ana, John Doleman, our guides, cooks, drivers (shout out to Felix and Ecolife Tours Costa Rica) and especially the parents for allowing your son to participate with us. THANKS.

We are leaving tomorrow morning and will be arriving in Louisville around 11:40pm tomorrow night. I look forward to seeing everyone at the arrival terminal.

    Thank YOU, Mr. Heintz, for getting this program started for Trinity High School and thanks to both you, and Mrs. Bohannon, for taking time away from your families so our boys could have such an amazing experience!
