Costa Rica Photos from Tommy Stallinga, Trinity Christian College

Trinity Christian College student Tommy Stallinga recently returned from a class trip to Costa Rica, and was kind enough to share the following photos and description of his experiences with us. Thanks Tommy!

First off, I just want to say that my trip to Costa Rica was amazing! This was my first trip I took out of the US and it was just simply fantastic. I loved every minute of the trip. I got to experience and try all sorts of new things. The places we stayed at were fantastic and the people we encountered were extremely friendly! I got to see some extraordinary sights and animals and took a lot of pictures. I enjoyed everything about my trip and can't wait to go back!

It felt like the scene of a movie, and this photo captured the feeling of that moment perfectly.
