June 3rd
Hey, guys. It's Kate and Ellie, today we had to get up super early to have breakfast at 6 am. After our early breakfast, which was delicious, we got into Eddy and Felix's vans to go to the national park in Costa Rica called Rincon de la Vieja. We saw lots of neat and interesting animals and insects, we saw a snake, butterflies, beetles, stick bugs, leaf-cutter ants, and a peanut head bug, and many more. At the national park, we went for a nice long hike to go to the geothermal hot springs and a waterfall. We were able to swim in the warm hot springs and the refreshing waterfall. At the hot springs, Eddy found us a highly coveted an exfoliating mud scrub that we used on our hands and leg. After hiking, we enjoyed a picnic lunch consisting of sandwiches, potato chips, and our favorite Costa Rican cookies Chiky's. Once we arrived back to Finca La Anita, we cleaned up and got right to work on our science projects. Each group created their experiment and had a list of goals to accomplish for the day. Next, we had a delicious dinner and most groups stayed in the classroom to finish their daily goals. Lastly, we had a funeral for Mrs. Keysha, one of the Atta queens who died in Elizabeth's group. Costa Chicas and Zach signing off.
Wow! They give you all a nice mix of fun/adventure with your studies! It seems like Zach is holding a bug every time I see his picture ;). The water looks beautiful. Please tell Zach I miss him! And he might want to make sure to text his mom tomorrow on her birthday! hint hint ;) Thanks to everyone for the great blog posts.
