Arenal Lake is the country’s largest lake, being approximately thirty kilometers long and nearly 5 kilometers wide at its widest point. Everyone was partnered up in pairs of two, making this activity a real bonding experience. Students and teachers were also given the opportunity to swim in the lake. The views were breathtaking, especially as it was nearing sunset.

Almost all of the residents at The Breakers come at the scheduled time to sit down on the provided chairs neatly organized in rows and watch the bright and extraordinary fireworks.

Traditional Chinese lanterns were situated on a ¾ mile loop around the zoo, though animals were hidden as the festival was after hours.

Students got to see demonstrative coffee plants while learning about the beans growing their “butterfly” leaves to capture sunlight, and then eventually shedding those for their primary maturing leaves.

Making a comeback in 2008 due to most of their songs being in the hit movie, Mama Mia! Even today, Abba has its very own Abba Arena in London, England. The Abba Arena puts on a virtual show almost every night for fans to attend and enjoy the amazing band. It is an AI video that looks very realistic and gives the impression that you are watching Abba live. (Sofia Cohen)(Above) When thinking about skiing, someone may think of Colorado or Utah, but my family loves to go to Lake Tahoe, California. California has an amazing reputation for its hot weather and beaches, but its skiing deserves much more credit for how beautiful it is. Our close family friend, Cathy, is seen snowboarding. Cathy can do many tricks, and something she’s training for next is a flip! I can only ski up to level Blue, but I hope she will teach me next time how to snowboard.
