Day 6 - Costa Rica Ecology Project

We packed our bus and drove 30 minutes to zip line. Our last full day in Costa Rica was a day to have fun. We took a beautiful out-door tram ride through the jungle to the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures during our zip line adventure because we didn't want to lose our cameras.

 After our adventure, we boarded the bus again because we had another 1.5 hours to reach San Jose. We stopped along the way to walk over a bridge and check out the amazing crocodiles. We learned from Stanley that the crocodiles have been attracted to this specific area because tourists drop food from bridge. It is against the law in Costa Rica to feed wild animals.

Crocodiles!

We made another stop at a local fruit stand to try some of the native fruit that we can not find back in the United States.

 When we reached our hotel in San Jose, we gathered one final time to share reflections of the week. Stanley and Marin handed EPI diplomas to each of us. However, we received another person's diploma, and each of us had to get up and speak about this person then handed that person their diploma. Our diplomas from EPI represent everything we have learned this week about conservation and ecology.

We received our diplomas from EPI for successfully completing their curriculum.
