Today we woke up and had a delicious egg and toast breakfast, then headed to the beach to enjoy our final day in Costa Rica. It was a bittersweet feeling since we knew that we were nearing the end of our trip. We enjoyed playing in the waves, sunbathing, more surfing, and amazing tropical drinks, then had lunch at a great restaurant on the beach. Around 4ish, we headed back to the hotel, packed our stuff, left Playa Samara, and headed back to Villa Huetares, the hotel we started out at in Playa Hermosa. We enjoyed a luxurious final dinner on the beach to celebrate the end of our trip. After, we looked at the stars and reminisced about all of our good times over the past few weeks. We finished our final community meeting with certificates and friendship bracelets. Now, we are enjoying our final hours together by playing games, talking, and making some final memories before we leave tomorrow morning. I think we can all agree this has been one of the best experiences of our lives and we are sad to say goodbye to the friends we have made, but we know we will stay in touch forever.

For the final time!
