After our experience zip lining for the first time in Costa
Rica, and for some of us ever, we went to the ecological center where we met an
abuela and her son and daughter and cooked our lunch. Like most traditional
Costa Rican meals, we made a simple chicken and rice dish mixed with vegetables
like carrots and green beans topped off with prestiños which are a typical fried
dough covered in sugar syrup. The rice was easy and quick to make, but the
tortilla making was where it got difficult. We were given balls of the dough used to
make them, then rolled and shaped them into a standard looking tortilla. Some
of us proved to be experts at this, and were awarded with first and second
place. But unfortunately for these winners, Jaslyn and Nicky, the prize was to
clean the table. After our hard work we finally were rewarded with eating the
delicious food we had contributed to. The rice was very delicious and gave us
another taste at Costa Rica’s standard dish, and the dessert was
amazing as well!
