Our third day started with waking up to the beautiful view of the Arenal Volanco. We then had a wonderful breakfast which included gallo pinto (of course) and then headed off for a boat ride on the Río Frío. On the boat ride, we saw many different species of birds, monkeys and even spotted a a sloth hanging out in a tree. The boat ride took us to the border of Costa Rica and Nicaragua and we snapped a quick shot of us at the boarder. After lunch, we visited Escuela Sonafluca where we were greeted by the children. After they brought us into their school, they performed dances for us and ew even got to join in in the traditional dances (El pavo). After the dancing, we had a Q&A moment with them in Spanish and English followed by a tour of their school in which has become bigger with the helps of groups such as ACIS visiting them and donating money. We then left the students to visit don José´s farm where we took a cooking class making our own ingredients from the organic farm to eat with tortillas. After this wonderful day and all of the incredible things we did, we went back and many of us went to the hot springs pool at the hotel where we relaxed until bed check.
