Lacrosse Experience in Costa Rica: Day 4 by Andres Simbeck

Day 4 in Costa Rica started out with some delicious rice and beans and eggs for breakfast at 9 o’clock. We then participated in a beach cleanup where we found a lot of trash and even spotted a puffer fish! After that amazing experience, we jumped straight into the warm water to body surf, but we also got smacked by the waves. We returned to the hotel for a short break. 

Right after that, we took a bus to Carillo field where we met up with the Costa Rica National Lacrosse Team. It was incredibly fun to connect with these players from thousands of miles away and to see their eagerness to learn more about lacrosse. Our team played against them first, followed by a game with the girls' team. It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved. 

Although we were supposed to have a beach BBQ with the Costa Rican team, the rain changed our plans, so we ended the day with a BBQ at the girls' hotel. Finally, we returned to our cozy beds and fell asleep :-)
