At 6:30 am Matt, Omar, and myself had a delicious tamale breakfast bread, and some of the best coffee I have ever had the pleasure to drink. After breakfast, we headed out to start out first day working on our projects. Matt and I worked at the Biofabrica with Zac and Karl, while the rest of the group worked at Trout Farm, the much bigger project of the group.
At the Biofabrica we had a list of projects to start on, like working to
mount the solar panel, installing wheels and other modifications to the
rabit hutches, and figuring out how to progress with the electrical
system. We had a minor work stoppage due to a visiting butterfly. It
landed on me, thus crowning my a Disney Princess, only to be usurped by
Zac as he got it to climb onto his finger.
At noon we had a lunch as a group, with wonderful food again. The
quality of the food here has definitely made me rethink my diet moving
forward. Afterwords we worked on the projects some more, and got a clear
vision for the next few days of work.
After returning back
to the village we went to the community center to work on prepping
dinner for our host families. On the way we got to see a raindbow up in
the hills.
We made Ojate Carne, Pot of Meat, a traditional Costa Rican meal. It
consited of papas, yuka, plantanos verde, chaote, zanahoria, camote, and
beef. As the soup cooked they taught us how to dance; I haven't laughed
so hard at my inability to do something in a long time.
It was a great end to a good day with some of the best people.
