In this Chiquita part of the country it was quite an impressive drive down, not only bananas, bananas, bananas, but also containers, containerns, containers, like a giant had been playing with building blocks. Impressive. Reading about the United Fruit history and the conditions for the plantation workers is rather depressing though.
We had some great hiking in Cahuita national park, where a big group of howlermonkeys passed above our heads and some good beach time (but these waves were a bit more hard core than those in Tamarindo). All three girls have gone from having a certain respect for even small waves to being totally fearless. Kiara needs to be punktmarkerad to say the least. Another highlight was a tour in an indiginous tribe, where we learnt how to make chocolate (our guide claimed that mixing it with milk was a big no-no), and learnt about their culture. Justus and I found it really interesting, the girls mainly liked the face painting and all the hands on experiences.
I wonder how this trip influences the girls, as at least Junia, maybe also Alma, will remember parts of it. It is fantastic to be able to spend so much time together, but the fights are also rather frequent, and even if the girls often play great together, they also miss their friends a fair bit. Kiara really likes to have both her sisters and parents around (even if she is extremely mum-ish now, wonder how the kindergarden start will go...)
