Group 3 in Tres Equis

Today we visited a small village outside of Tres Equis.  We went to a school called "El Sol" and helped build benches for the students as well as paint the school.  After lunch, a local showed us how to cut open coconuts and drink the milk.  It was delicious.  It was very rewarding to help people that are not as privileged as we are, but also to experience a different cultures everyday life.  The Costa Rican people are very welcoming and appreciative of us, which helps a lot.  After lunch we played soccer with the village; the soccer field was on the side of a cliff with an amazing view.  Tonight we will learn a traditional dance. For the past two days we have enjoyed the hospitality of our families that we are staying with.
