Costa Rica day 3

Hi all from Costa Rica this is Corrie writing for the whole team. Today was national rice and beans day so we got to start the day out with a great breakfast of what else but rice and beans! All the schools were out for the holiday meaning we couldn't do vbs, so we decided to do some hiking and shopping on our free day. We hiked fairly intensely from Marlin's mother's house to a passionfruit farm that is owned by one of the Obando's church members named Yolanda. She was so sweet and let us try many of her amazing fruits she grows. We passed some crazy dogs, a wild horse, and a breathtaking waterfall on the hike to her farm. After hiking we ventured into Turrialba stopping first at the walmart to exchange money (they are very picky some of us couldn't even exchange at all!) and then went into the town to shop. Unfortunately because it was a holiday most of the stores were closed so we settled for pizza and ice cream instead. We decided to call it an early night and came back to the hotel early to play games, swim, and relax. Today we got to witness God's love through all the beauty he created in the world around us. It's amazing the detail he put into the beauty of the earth, and it was done all for us. We are looking forward to a great day of vbs tomorrow! Love from the whole team to all those back home!
