Today was a long day of transport, but we had a great time nonetheless. We visited two schools, planted a tree, and are now staying near Santa Elena in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The cloud forest is a very unique environment and this type of forest makes up only 2% of the earth's rainforests. The students were able to get an in depth look at the Costa Rican culture through its schools and students. I will post pics later.
