Bronwyn has a list of what she needs to do before she gets ready to leave for Costa Rica. She is eleven. This is what she wrote:

Research the culture

Learn some Portuguese/Spanish

Get a book on Costa Rica

Then, on her packing list was duct tape. She was reading the list off to me and when she got to duct tape she said, "Because, you know, it is universally useful."

Ha ha ha ha. Sooo precious.
