This is day five and I had a good day today. We talked to the geologist by the name of Don Rudolfo Van Der Laat about the Poás volcano. As we visited, we saw inside a crater where a lake sits. The trail was kind of challenging with all the different hills, turns, and steps. It was worth the hike. We also traveled to see Don Gerardo Montoya who is known for making large and colorful masks. We got a chance to see his projects. A few students were able to create a mask using clay, and they were in a small competition to see who made the best one (even though they pretty much all won). After that, there was a raffle for a prize (a mask), which I had the honor to win. The most important thing about that trip was how inspiring he was. He was happy, content, and passionate making masks. Making masks made him very happy with his life. The trip to the mask maker was what made my day; it was great!
