Still Hannah here!
After our painting adventures, we headed back to La Finca Anita, where Pablo and his really sweet machete went at a palm tree, and he taught us how to prepare a salad using the palm core. It was sweet!
Later, he took us out into his farm and toured us around his many crops, telling us all about Costa Rica, agriculture, and tons of other stuff. We saw lots of cool things, like a Montezuma bird, whose call sound like a shoe squeaking to me, and a cacao plant.
That night was one of my best experiences so far. We went out into the village and ate dinner with local families.Although we split up, we all ended up in the family of a student at the local school, Alejandra. They were warm and welcomed each of us with a hug and a kiss, and the night ended up with a spontaneous group hug initiated by Grant [how pura vida!] along with myself and Papi salsa dancing in the kitchen. The girl, Alejandra, had each of us leave a little note with our name and email address, so we could keep in touch as pen pals. The night was surely as special for her as it was for us.
The next morning, sadly we had to leave La Finca Anita. Pablo and Anna were wonderful hosts, and we will all miss waking up to the sounds of the rainforest, their silly dogs that followed us everywhere, the kind town, Pablo and his machete, the amazing birds, and all of the fun we had there.
All for now! Mas tardes!
