La Paz is a tiny, mountain village about two hours north of San Jose. It is here that I traveled with my best friend, Kate, and about twenty others in an exchange program. We stayed with the most beautiful people that I have ever encountered. Kate and I have found a new family in a culture that explodes with gracious and loving hospitality. Mama Clara, Papa Miguel, Hermanas Susan y Maria Clareth, Hermanos Yeison y Warner, y sobrina Ana Sofia- nuestra familia del corazon. Costa Rica is the country that was touched by the hand of God. There is no comparison. My heart and my life have been forever changed
