The Concert

The concert last night was great! It went very well and we got a great turnout. The place was packed! In addition, we got a rare, exclusive, morale raising pep talk from Brian before the show. It made us all feel highly appreciated our hard work paid off well. All of the Costa Rican musicians we played with were very impressed with our musicianship, especially since we are so much younger than them. The Costa Rican Orchestra was also amazing.

Today we went to a local coffee plantation, to learn how the coffee was grown, prepared and sold. We went to a plantation called "Cafe Tres Generationes". We sampled the coffee, took a tour of the facilities, and had the option to purchase the coffee and other things from the gift shop. After that, we headed over to the crater of the Poas Volcano. After a short hike, we had a spectacular view of the crater. Sulfuric gas was flowing out of the center of the sulfur lake in the crater. We had a great lunch then went on a hike by La Paz Warterfall Gardens. The falls were beautiful and the agriculture was spectacular. After we returned we stopped at the hotel. We went to dinner, where there was a great firework display, Latin dance show! Great Day!
