"...The long-winding roads by enormous
waterfalls unmatched by those I saw in Hawaii and the landscape,
utopic! I´ve never experienced such natural exquisite beauty.
The enormous mountains which surrounded us on every side, the fresh
smell of pineapple in the air and the plentiful green vegetation
which illustriously manifested itself as if human beings never lived
or contaminated the earth."
"...With a flashlight and of course
the aid of someone who knows the zoo inside and out, we walked through
the gates of this paradise and I'm telling you. I almost cried in
ecstasy - plus the illustrious beauty unmatched by any place or
country. It is indescribable!"
"...We finally reached our zenith,
though still far enough away from Arenal so the erupting lava wouldn't
hurt us, but the sounds and smoke which emanated from the mouth
of this beautiful volcano were jaw-dropping at best."
"For the first time in my life, I

now. Instead I have been able to relax, unwind, let my mind find
time to just be, forever free, while I still decide, what's truly

"The most amazing element is that
these people live in such modesty but are so full of love and passion,
the energy is infectious with the outpouring of laughter and good-natured
charm. These people, at the very least, can teach me how to integrate
their positive outlook and reference for all things great and small,
in ways I find unimaginable to me."
"All of the students began studying
English just one month ago so no matter what grade they are in,
they are basically starting out with the same lesson plans which
makes the repetition of teaching much easier here. Most of the kids
know about Walker Texas Ranger¨and when I talk with a Texas
slang, they bubble over with laughter when I imitate a True Texan..."
"I will miss the orphans who I have
taken a serious liking to.... they had something of the equivalent
to VH-1, so we all engaged in hip-hop and I gave them an experience
they probably would never have again. We looked like a bunch of
monkeys and the boys loved walking on their hands, doing head stands
and spinning on their backs!"
