Hello everyone,
Today we got a very early start when we woke up at 5:30 AM to go on a bird watching hike with Kevin the biologist. We saw a variety of different bird species and of course several insects. We then went to the school to teach and play with the older kids, and to continue working on the playground.
Later we went on a tour of a Cacao plantation, where we learned how to make traditional Costa Rican chocolate bars. We also got to try traditional hot chocolate, with chili powder, nutmeg, black pepper, and vanilla in it. At the end of the chocolate tutorial we were really excited to see a howler monkey and a toucan.
As the trip comes to a close, everyone is getting very attached to the kids at the Chilamate school and the Costa Rican people in general. We will all be sad to say goodbye on Wednesday.
