3. What was your favorite food/meal on the trip? The meal we had at the Don Juan Organic Farm. I don’t know if I was hungry, but the food was amazing.

 4. What was the most important item you packed? My phone that kept me and other entertained during our long bus rides. It also helped calm parents to hear their child’s voice.

 5. What did you forget and had to borrow? Who would think that I would forget my camera? I guess that’s what happens when you have a couple hours to get ready.  Thanks to Madison I was able to take pictures.

 6. What made you laugh the most? It has to be our walk through Arenal National Park. Marina, Carly, Nicole, Kristina, Jordan, & Gio made it a hysterical 2 hours. Nicole needs to learn how to keep her balance.

7. What made you think the most? The community service we did at Escuela el Castillo made me think of the many opportunity we are given and we don’t take advantage of.
