Today Luis and Yerlin's dad (don Gilbert) took us shopping in a small town near San José names Sarchí.  It is the souvenir and artisan center of the country.   Their specialty is furniture and we saw some beautiful stuff.   They then took us to a very small but nice mall.  The students got a chance to eat fast food and were happy.   We then had a going away party at Yerlin's house.  They had pizza and 4 different types of lasagna.  It was a LOT of fun and we took pictures of all the families and their host students.

The Carreta (Ox cart) was commissioned by the town of Sarchí and it is the largest one in Costa Rica.   The ox cart is a Costa Rican symbol and this one is impressive.   They are very beautiful.

Enjoy the last day of Pics.
