Costa Rica - Part 1
After arriving in San Jose on Saturday, we traveled Earth University's campus in La Flor via bus, toured the campus and turned in. The next morning we met with Carlos Murillo, the director of Earth University, to exchange information and ideas. Carlos began with a presentation introducing us to Earth, its history, ideals and goals for the future. Carlos proved to be as intelligent and articulate as he was hopeful for the future of his university and country. His overflowing optimism and pragmatism was strikingly similar to Barack Obama's early campaign speeches and I found them equally inspiring. After the presentation we took turns presenting our materials and research to Carlos, explaining how we had made our samples and what utility we saw in our discoveries. One-on-one discussions ensued about our samples, their pros, cons and potential integration into Earth's existing agricultural systems. Carlos gave of our projects a great amount of attention and insight requesting that we update him on our progress through out the semester. The morning's presentation and comments were both insightful and inspiring, and have reaffirmed our semester's goals.
