Last day in Costa Rica

Image
Hola otra vez family and friends! Last night and until 1:30 in the morning we were at the beach patrolling for sea turtles. We weren't able to see any sea turtles since it wasn't nesting season but all of us enjoyed a nap and the bright moon which was our only source of light. When we arrived back at Horizontes, we were very tired but excited for our day at the beach. We woke up to go on a morning hike in the dry forest with Freddie at 6:30. On our way to the waterfall we saw Kapok trees and smelled wild pigs from afar. After five kilometers we arrived at the top of a waterfall where we ate sandwiches and fruit for breakfast. It was gorgeous and very hot since it was the first day in a while that it didn't rain. We then took a tractor back to the rooms. It was a fun bumpy ride that involved dodging many branches, Derek lost his sunglasses to one branch. We arrived back at the rooms and many people chose to nap because of our late night and early morning. Others ch...

Day 7

Hola from costa rica! Today was was a very fun day, probably one of the most fun days we've had. We started off with breakfast at 7:30 as usual. Had eggs and rice for the fiftieth time and cinnamon rolls. We had a morning science sesh where we worked more on our experiments with our groups and checked our bacteria and fungus plates that both smell really bad. Finally time for lunch and we had burgers! It was kind of a disappointment when we found out that they were black bean burgers though.

Some people climbed the rocks and jumped in *cough cough* Derek and Jack. Then we hiked all the way back and took the tractor home. We were singing old tv show theme songs because there w...

Day 9

This morning was bittersweet, but not good like the chocolate we're going to bring home. Personally, I (Kaylee) think we'd all like to stay quite a bit longer and work with the ants, although I know we're starting to miss home. Our final breakfast in the Ranch at Finca La Anita was quieter than normal; that was because about half the group was packed into the little gift shop buying chocolate and last minute gifts. That morning, we had packed our suitcases and left them outside our cabins for Eddie, one of the van drivers, to pick up and put on top of the bigger van. As we left, Pablo and Ana came to say goodbye to us. We're one of many groups that come during the summer, but I hope they remember us. We drove away listening to Disney music from Grace's iPad in the smaller van as we took last minute videos and pictures of Finca La Anita. We hadn't made it 5 minutes away from the farm when the vans pulled over and we stopped outside a small building attached to ...
