We ate at a restaurant there in which the owner made ox carts. He did all of the woodwork using hydroelectricity with a waterwheel in the back. They were all also hand painted and hand carved pieces. It was very beautiful. We finally got to Turriabla that night. The next day we went to the college and botanical gardens of CATIE. In the botanical gardens we got to try all of the different fruits grown in Costa Rica. They are all very good and different tasting. Even the mangos and pineapples taste so much better there. Now that we are back I dislike the ones here. One example of something we tried there was called the miracle fruit. It made anything you ate afterwards that was sour taste sweet and it actually worked. We toured the coffee plantation there as well as the college campus and had more traditional Costa Rican food in the cafeteria there. Finally, in Turriabla we went to a fruit market and an ice cream shop and practiced our Spanish. We then prepared for our third stop.

Their food, homes, and general way of life was something completely new to me. I loved the bright coloration of all the buildings, and how simple they were. All the people I had the chance to meet were extremely friendly, and seemed to be proud of who they were and where they were from. The food was also amazing. I have never been so happy to eat as I was while in Costa Rica. Every meal it seemed like there was something new to try. Rice and beans were a staple of every meal, but I never got tired of eating them. The fruit was fresh and delicious, as was everything else that I got the chance to eat. I didn’t expect the meals to be as good and filling as they were, but man was I wrong. I don’t believe I ever finished a meal without being completely and utterly
Costa Rica provided me with a fresh, inspiring, and eye-opening portal into the world of South America. My time in Costa was filled with self-love, self-acceptance and self- appreciation. I experienced so much growth, discomfort, confusion, compassion, generosity, exhaustion, and most abundantly, love. Beautiful workshops; some teaching me about the power of my yoni, others focusing on the knowledge of the self and the core that each individual must return to within their own body and soul. Indian temple and body appreciation dance classes, and every single beautiful artist and individual that graced me with their
