Update from Father Milton and Father Matt:

All these photos are from our last day! We are sad to leave but if we don't leave we can never come back! Pura Vida! We had one final meal together in Costa Rica. We will be back!

Update from Father Milton and Father Matt:

Today was a work day at Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church, Limon, CR. Re-plastering walls and grouting tile. We came we saw…we hammered, laid tile, and spread cement and grout…it was a good day! The Children at the Day School at St. Marks enjoyed their time in P.E. class. We put a second coat of cement and grout on we ate and we went back home to San Jose.

Update from Father Matt:

It was a glorious day! St. Marks in Limon celebrated Youth Sunday and the Bishop's visit! After a delicious lunch, two of the three Amigas went out on a ledge to get a group photo.  We then went on a tour where we learned about the history of indigenous, afro-Caribbean, and Spanish in Costa Rica. Our guide is a resident historian and activist. By the end of the tour, Pat needed ice cream, and desperate times require desperate measures!

We were fed well this morning and then traveled to Limon.
