all heart

Costa Rica is a world that is brought together threw love and hope for there country's future. I look at them and I see the people of the United States only separated by a deeper tan and there language. My Spanish is not very good but it doesn't have to be. It is almost like reading minds and there eyes and body movements. You begin to feel like they are you and automatically. Your words are understood, We went to a school and I was paired up with a student named Javier. I consider him my friend because I felt the connection that we are the same person. And that is why we were able to communicate and it was the most amazing experience entering psychologically into a new world. The school honored us by having there band play and showing us around the school and we were also played a very enjoyable game of soccer. Imagine your best friends and how sometimes you don't have to speak to understand them it is exactly like that and I wish i could have spend another day with my friend Javier.

That Night we had a little dance at the hostel we are staying at and got to hang out and learn to dance Costa Rican style and I impressed them with some of the American Pop Lock style dancing. That was the first full day in Costa Rica and I can't imagine a better way to start out are experience. I believe a trip is blessed because everything is falling into place and destiny is taking is course.

We went to La Carpio which is a large neighborhood of ram shackled housing and very poor Costa Ricans and Nicaragua. And they were poor but they were all heart and they were happy no matter what and were even prouder of there accomplishments and I was proud to help build 16 bunk beds for these families with nothing but the floor to sleep on. Getting to meet these people and communicate with them and see there children and how much they love there mothers and i saw me in there smiles and really felt the equality in all man kind. And I thank god for this Trip this is truly the most meaningful experience of my life.
