Day 10 - Return to Costa Rica

We sadly left our beautiful hotel in Panama to travel back to San Jose, Costa Rica. The drive wasn't bad, about 6 hours. When we got to the hotel we got ready for our good-bye dinner at Hotel Aeropuerto.
My friend Katie's birthday was on the 30th, so our VIDA staff surprised her with a birthday cake!
My two roomates for the entire trip, and our trip guide, Pablo. 
Our VIDA family, an amazing group of people.

I had such an amazing time in Costa Rica and Panama. The amount of kindness and consideration I experienced in Central America is something I would never find in the U.S. The entire VIDA staff was so helpful and always made sure our group was happy and comfortable. Although the conditions weren't ideal, the work we did in the clinics was extremely rewarding. If my schedule allows it, I hope to plan another trip next summer!
