My daughter was sent twice to CR for work a couple of weeks at a time. She LOVED it. The people,scenery and the COFFEE. Also, because she is a Jehovah's Witness and one of her trainees happened to be a JW, she was invited to spend a weekend with the woman and her family. They lived a bit away from the city in the mountains. Karla said that visit was one of the high lights of her trip. In fact,they corresponded afterwards. She was scheduled a third time to go there, but because of a conflict in office duties was not able to go. She was terribly disappointed. Each time she came home, she brought back the most wonderful coffee which was grown on local plantations. Also, as crafty said, they live a much more laid back way of life. Your granddaughter is in for a good time. Karen

Karen - thank you for sharing with me. My granddaughter will be almost 17 when she goes to Costa Rica. The company they are working with at her school is excellent so I am ok with this. It is just a long way from home in upper NY state for her but she is a well grounded young lady. She loves coffee so this should be an added bonus. She had a choice of Spain, Argentina and Costa Rica. She chose Costa Rica because she wants to learn the fluency of the Spanish language (she has had 4 years in school and 2 years of French) and the customs of the Costa Rican people. This is an experience of a lifetime and should help her on her way through her adult life as a translator. She wants to travel with whatever work she finds. Thanks again for your note. cheryl
