There is nothing more enticing or enchanting than the mysterious and silent cloud forests of Costa Rica. There is no challenge greater than confronting your fears in front of others and shining when there is no sun to shine for you. today as a group we did confronted our fears and began building the new structure of the world, we planted trees. we succesfully have now made our trip carbon neutral and have led by example. hopefully fifteen years from now members of our group will return to the location of the cloud forest, see the trees we planted, and remember this trip as one that defined us. Today members of our group confronted challenges. certain people scared of extreme heights climbed higher than all others and others pushed themselves to the physical limit. Most importantly we worked as a group creating a unique assembly line, planting trees while making sure we did not fall of the edge of steep crevices.
today was a day that we will remeber and cherish.
Beautifully written! I think I am glad that I did not know in advance that you would be climbing on steep crevices!!!
ReplyDeleteQuick clarification to put parental minds at ease - there were no crevices - simply a steep hillside. It was a good challenge!
