We're back!

We flew into Seattle last night, slept for a few hours and came into Spokane this morning at eight.  This trip was one of the best experiences that I have had the opportunity to participate in and I feel confident in saying that every group member could say that.  Thanks to every participant for making it happen and to Michael, Linda, Jim and Shelli for being such supportive and efficient chaperons.  I can also add that the Freeman students represented the school well by being polite, following instructions and maintaining positive attitudes during strenuous traveling conditions.

I downloaded every picture from my camera here https://picasaweb.google.com/117249516420839821131/CostaRicaPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCMaasey45pSpeg&feat=directlink
