Sunday, Day 2

Thought for the day: “Teach us delight in simple things.” – Rudyard Kipling

Another blue sky morning. Several chose to begin their day by running, while others started with a breakfast buffet at the Orquideas Inn. The morning informational meetin was led by Gina – it was quick and informative with a break for lunch, followed by another short session. Then we boarded the bus at 1 p.m. for our departure to Monteverde/Santa Elena – a 3 ½-hour ride.

We check into the inn in Santa Elena, which will be our home for the next two weeks. Next came an orientation to the town and a departure for Cebadilla where we were hosted by the Global Volunteers Committee comprised of a member from each of the volunteer groups of the village.

Dinner was lovely, followed by dancing and greetings from each team member and the local people we will be sharing our time with.
