Costa Rica 2012 was full of highs. I bet you thought I was going to say highs and lows didnt you? BUT NO. The smallest moments held the most beauty while the largest moments held just as much meaning.
The moments that should of
discouraged us only made us want more. Having towels swept into the oceans, ipod's destroyed and bags soaked by the tide only made us more curious of the ocean. Losing sunglasses seemed like a small
price to pay to enjoy a full on frontal attack on other rafts.
There were moments you could literlay freeze and just soak up the beauty. The nautral beauty of the waterfall had the ability to mesmarize us all the sun gleamed off of it.
There
were moments were we used every emotion possible. But whether it be Cailean
having a full on heart attack over a bug, 4 people throwing up throughout the
night, Ann shedding a few tears at an abnormal cricket, or Bailee football
tackling the football coach. We were always there for each other to bask in the
moment and than of course offer a helping hand.
There were moments that seemed
to go in slow motion and can be played in our heads over and over again. Seeing
fists being thrown into the air at completion of hiking La Trosha or seeing
heads glance back and flash the worlds largest grin as they zipped away.
There
were moments were sheer joy was so obviously written on people’s faces. The
look Mauricio has at being reunited with the ocean, the look Will hadwalking on
the back at sunrise or the look the school children had had receiving new
supplies.
But there were also moments that tested al our courage and agility.
Whether it be squezzing through the birth canal or zip lining we all stood tall
and proud at completion.
These experiences may only be once in a life time. 100 new
experiences.
