Trip to Coco Beach

We made it to Coco Beach, about 10 minutes from our Villa, for some souvenir shopping. Our cab driver Luis dropped us off for a few hours to shop. It is a small town a few hours was plenty of time to get it all done. Makayla had brought some school supplies to give to some needy students in Costa Rica. This was personally the highlight of our outing, maybe our trip. Luis took us to what is equivalent to our ghetto where very poor people live. We parked the car and got to meet several boys who were out playing soccer. We had to move quickly because the whole village started to come to see what the Gringos were bringing them. Their ages ranged from 8-12. We gave them all of the school supplies we had and asked them to share with their brothers and sisters. Were they thankful to have these pens, pencils, paper and other school supplies.... pretty humbling and touching experience to meet such people. With the struggles they face these boys had happiness and joy in their eyes... amazing!
