Sure, we were getting a day at the beach together and a nice bbq lunch to go with it (which is awesome!), but it\u2019s still collecting trash in the sunny heat of the Puntarenas Province and carefully sifting it into recycling piles to make sure we\u2019re helping the environment properly. My point is there are plenty of other places all nine of us could have chosen to otherwise be on our collective day off, and yet, this is where we all wanted to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-id=\"5214\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1-20x15.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1-36x27.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-300x225-1-48x36.jpeg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"5212\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1-15x20.jpeg 15w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1-27x36.jpeg 27w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.48-AM-1-225x300-1-36x48.jpeg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"5210\" src=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1-15x20.jpeg 15w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1-27x36.jpeg 27w, https:\/\/idiomacr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-03-10-at-11.07.47-AM-225x300-1-36x48.jpeg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have done a couple of park clean ups now, like at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idiomacr.com\/the-power-of-example\/\">Parque de la Paz<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idiomacr.com\/idioma-internacional-kick-off-january-2019\/\">Peace University Park<\/a>, but this was our first beach cleanup.
