CDS Goes Surfing at Playa Uvita/Ballena

What do you get when you pack forty eighth graders into tents, tell 'em to cook their own meals and clean up after themselves.  Well, if you're on the beach in Costa Rica, you get a surprisingly good time!

Sure, we had to be in charge of large groups of Cards Against Humanity playin' 14 year olds, but the trip had its perks.  Steve and I took our first couple of surfing lessons, and both of us managed to ride the curls (well, really, the foam) with confidence.  What a rush.  Totally radical, dudes.  Hang 10!

When we weren't surfing or chaperoning adolescents for kitchen duty, we did some ocean kayaking and snorkeling in the Ballena National Park.

On the last day, we rafted on the Savegre River, normally a class 3, but during this dry period, a slow class 2.  We spent quite a bit of time getting stuck on the rocks, but overall, a great time in a lovely cool river.

So much fun!   More pictures to come...
