We have arrived!
The housing is comfortable and we are all excited to begin our service project. Tomorrow we have a morning hike scheduled to go deeper into the rainforest and than rafting in the afternoon before meeting our host families.
Before we arrived at Chilamate, we stopped along the way at a bodago-- it's like a mini Walmart-- this allowed a few of us to pick up headlamps (discovered essential from today forward) more portable water and gifts for our homestay families. The store manager had to continue to come to the cash registrar to verify our American 20 dollar bills were ok, most of us (11) were in line -- I also ran into one of the students who helped us while at Earth University while browsing an aisle-- we were both surprised to see each other-- he thought it was funny that we had followed him home...LOL
The evening rainforest is waking up so I'll sign off now to enjoy the symphony.
P.S.-- the coffee continues to be wonderful- I'm in heaven.
