Asociación Salvemos las Tortugas de Parismina
... your host family. We were given three meals a day of typical Costa Rican food which consists mainly of rice n beans, curried stews and fried food including plantains. We bought our own fruit from the local store when it was available. Kimberly was a great cook but we have definitely had our fill of rice n beans for a while!
We came to Parismina to work with Asociación Salvemos las Tortugas de Parismina (ASTOP). I have always wanted to work on ...

Next we retraced our steps and walked some more until we got to our second and final stop: the waterfall. It was just beautiful. The waterfall was high and it was great to stand under it.
