Hello, So this past week was spent attending a spanish school located inside a volcanic crater turned lake. Staying at laguna de Apoyo was really amazing. We met an eccentric group of people and saw many monkeys. Clases were fun because they are situated outdoors and Alex and I were always being distracted by howler monkeys or lizards or chickens. Some of the activities we did with the school were a walk around the jungle to see birds and monkeys, cleaning up a beach and attending some kind of town hall meeting where developers talked about the houses they wanted to build in the nature reserve. Leaving Laguna de Apoyo, we crawled into the back of a school bus which could barely make it up the hill and then took an intercity van which had at least 25 people in it. The walk to Casas de la Esperanza was pretty eye opening, The whole way there, the eroded dirt road is bordered by tiny houses scrapped together with pieces of wood and aluminum roofing. There are lots of starved stray dogs around too.Here is the link to our facebook photo album.
