Pura Vida Futsal - Yang Scofano in Costa Rica

By Yang Scofano II, Assistant Captain of the U.S. Youth Futsal Boys U14 team

Today I woke up at 5:30 and went downstairs for breakfast. I had eggs and fruits. After breakfast I waited in the lobby with some friends and waited for the bus. Once we got on the bus we headed toward our Pozo Azul, a tourist attraction in the rainforest north of San Jose. The boys started with zip line and the girls went to whitewater rafting. 

The ziplining was pretty fun and we got to see some bullet ants whose sting hurts more than a wasp's. We made it to the end of the nine zip lines and looped around and made it back to the beginning. The last zip line was my favorite. After that we waited for the girls to get back from whitewater rafting because they took forever. The girls eventually arrived and we made our way towards the river. 

Honestly, whitewater rafting was the best by far we went on some crazy waves and one man went overboard and we had to get him back in the raft; but for the rest of the ride it was bumpy but everyone stayed in the raft. When we got to shore we had some really good pineapple and got on a bus to head back to the main area. 

When we got there we ate some lunch, sat around and talked, the headed back to the hotel. We made it and we went straight and got dinner. After that I went into the pool with some friends and it was freezing so we didn't stay very long. Finally we hung out on the first floor and ate pizza and talked.
