Day 4 & 5 Pictures

Here, students build soccer goals out of PVC pipe to help benefit the school playground.


Elementary school students and trip participants pose for one last picture.

A Hercules Beetle (I can see where its name comes from) hangs out close to our living quarters.


Dr. Eugenio Gonzales briefs volunteers on how to press newly collected samples.

Lunch at a soda in La Fortuna consisted of steamed vegetables, chicken, and a Costa Rican edition of French Fries.

A rare clear view of the Arenal Volcano. The wire is a portion of the zipline.

On our night nature hike we discovered one of Costa Rica's trademark, the Red-Eyed Leaf Frog.

Local school students demonstrate traditional Costa Rican dance and encouraged our group to join them.

Jose shows off his newly painted shirt to Matt.

While collecting plant samples in the rainforest, students got a great view of one of several waterfalls.

This is a video of zipline action over the canopy. The Arenal lake and Volcano are visible throughout the ride.
