SHCP students spent eleven days in this beautiful country, five of them at the Pacuare Reserve. They took nightly five-mile walks on the beach patrolling the sea turtles and other natural wildlife. They were lucky enough to Witness new-born and full-sized sea turtles in their fragile stage of life. Then the group spent four days at the LaSuerte Ecologi- cal Center. The students hiked in the rainforest where they observed interesting creatures such as: poison dart frogs, howler monkeys, and sloths. Also, students rode class three to four rapids on the vicious Pacuare River. While sliding down the river, one boat took an awful hit and even flipped over! Victoria Wertz, Ethan Wickland, Kim Mah, and Mr. Yee tumbled out with it. It was the perfect experience to start the summer of 2006, said Senior Liz White. Stlftzileiftt LL 6 9
