Letter of Reference
Zaida, you were and still are an extraordinary woman. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious and were certainly most appreciated when we were on the last leg of our study tour and so needed the bolstering you provided. The cooking classes you conducted were always entertaining and the students loved every minute of the preparation and, of course, the final tasting. What I appreciated the most was the way I could present an itinerary and learning objectives to you and you would take
it and run with it! Before I knew it you had three different learning experiences to choose from for each objective. The only difficulty for me was narrowing it down to one! My absolute favorite study tour in Costa Rica was the Art and Culture Program. We brought four teachers, two art and two sociology plus 15 students to
Costa Rica for 10 days. As always, you and David met us at the airport with exceptional transportation (Exceptional in this case means that
not only was it comfortable, but it was able to accommodate all of our luggage!). This turned out to be very important because as when we were driving into Heredia an earthquake hit and the streets were flooding. Quite a beginning to experiencing Tican culture! From that moment on we met famous Tican artists, and participated\ in drawing, painting and sculpture lessons. We visited the elderly and orphans, taking art to them and learning about their culture. Nature was not
left out of our adventure, either, as we traveled to La Paz Cataratas, Volcan Poas, and the thermal hot springs in La Fortuna. David worked
hard to be sure that our host family stays were pleasant. Our students, by the end of the 10 days, felt like their mama Ticas were
their second mothers. All of us felt so taken care of, secure, and loved....
