Here are photos of some of the people who shared different parts of the journey with me.

Corrie and Sophie. Sophie was with me the week in Playa Samara.

Scott and Nick were in my class in Samara. Laura was our teacher.

This is my family in Samara. Xinia and her daughter.

This isn't a great photo, but it is Elena, a fellow student and a good friend to me while I was there.

From front to back: Corrie, Bettina (a Swiss student) and Bonny, our guide in Tortuguero.

Another photo of Bettina. She braved Tortuguero and Guapiles (2 and a half hour procession during Holy week) with me.

My friend Maribel is standing near the "waterfall" that we found in Monteverde.

Un hombre with his cart near the playa.

Here I am with my braids...rip off or not, it was fun.

The sunrise at Playa Samara. As my key chain from here says, "Costa Rica: una bellisima experiencia!"
