After lunch we made the drive to the village (just a note if you want to experience Costa Rica Rural Tourism on a family vacation we can arrange a night or two to stay in the village) and I could see in everyones face that they were a little nervous. If I had to pick two places in the USA that were least like this village it is probably Park City and New York City. Not in a bad way but just very different. This village is very green first of all and no paved roads. There is never any snow of course and not much English.
When we arrived we did not waste anytime and we started making tortillas. We had a competition of who could make the the best tortilla. I have to say everyone did well but the prize went to Patrick. Everyone was calm after the first 5 minutes. The people here are so welcoming and amazing company that you dont even realize the language barrier or the simplicity of life. It is a few smiles and laughs and you realize your having a great time.
After the tortillas we introduced everyone to their families for the next two nights. Everyone got matched up with an excellent family. They will feel at home I promise you. We are having time in the homes now for the next 1 1/2 hour and then we are meeting back at the meeting house for salsa and merengue classes.
