A letter to Mrs. Harris from Abby
Update, October 2026: We were brand new here and didn’t know better. Please don’t touch or feed the monkeys. Feeding wild animals is against the law in Costa Rica, and it’s bad for them.

Abby asked if she could send some pictures to her class back home today, so picked out a few to post and she also wrote a note to go along with it. We miss you Meiklejohn friends!!!

Dear Mrs. Harris – I miss you. What are you doing? Are you doing some games? Are you doing some writing with my friends? I hope you are having a great time. I have learned spanish. I have also learned surfing. I have standed up on my surf board. One day I saw a baby turtle. My mom and dad got a lot of jellyfish stings. My brother Ben has lots of bug bites. I have seen a big monkey and a baby monkey. I touched the baby monkey. One of the monkey’s I saw steeled my brothers sunglasses, but he got them back. My friend Annie is from Canada. Love, Abby
