Costa Rica: Intro to Pre-Med & Public Health Session 2, 2026
July 14, 2026
Hi families! Today we created our community expectations and got to know each other. We played so many games, most were new to us. After practicing names and a delicious breakfast, we headed to downtown Alajuela. There was a beautiful mural and we got to learn about local history. We saw way too many birds (birda dont pee!) and went to a yummy lunch. We then started our scavenger hunt! We divided into groups of 3-4. During the sightseeing, we met different people and travelled all around the central part of downtown. We went into many shops, practiced Spanish, ate amazing food, and bonded with our groups. We (Ariana and Sandra) can confidently say that every single group, that found it, got so lost in the supermarket. During the scavenger hunt we went to a bakery, ice cream, and historic buildings. We then headed back to Villa Aracari. We hung by the pool, read books, played more games, and had a mini siesta.
Pura Vida,
Sandra y Ariana
