Support Letter

if you need a few copies of the support letter that justin gave out, tell me by leaving a comment (with your name and how many you need) in the comment box. or, if you'd like to print them yourself but didn't get it, you can find it here or you can use my alternate version which includes costa rica's flag near the top.  

Countdown Clock and Fundraising Thermometer are here!

So, after a series of technical difficulties I've finally been able to add a countdown clock AND a fundraising thermometer to our site.  Obviously, its counting down to the date that we leave.  However, when I get final flight information, I will be able to put that in and it will count down to the exact time that our plane leaves!  The thermometer is running low on mercury right at this time.  Let's get it full!

EDIT: in case you're wondering, yes, i did indeed change the thermometer. the green mercury was not very convincing and this one even leaks out the top once we make more money than the goal. (because there's no space for it in the thermometer itself.)

EDIT: the thermometer is not working right now for some reason.

Rochester to Costa Rica

you might not be able to see it, but there's a line going on our route from rochester to costa rica. (and vice versa)

Costa Rica!!!!!!

We get to see live volcanoes up close!

Did you know that the town where we will probably be staying is very close to a live volcano named Arenal? There are 4 active volcanoes in Costa Rica. I think the prospect of seeing a volcano up close is REALLY COOL! In one thing I read, it said that on a clear night you can see the volcano flaring up and even see molten lava at times! Apparently it is a real tourist attraction. The town is called La Fortuna de San Carlos or La Fortuna for short. I can't wait to see my first volcano with y'all! See ya!
