Today was our last full day of work at the school. We finished digging every hole and continued to cement poles into the ground. Everyone was working on different things: painting over the welding on the fence, mixing cement, filling holes with cement, collecting rocks, and digging holes. Today was our most productive day of work. After we finished the morning work, we went to our host families' homes to have lunch and play games. At my house, we had rice, potatoes, beef, onions, and watermelon for dessert. This was our last time seeing our host families, so many people took pictures with their families. Although communicating with families was a struggle, everyone was still able to have fun!
After lunch, we were handcrafting masterpieces at an artisan's house. The masterpieces were pieces of clay which were painted over by acrylic paint. We were to paint Costa Rican houses and trees and a well surrounding the house. We used ground coffee beans and egg shells. Overall it was very fun and everyone had a great time!
