Day 8 Science & Sloths
Day 8 Breakfast was eggs, homemade cheese, fresh fruit, multi-fruit, fruit juice, and plantains.
Mrs. Wallace held her last yoga class at La Finca Anita and 3 Germans, a mom and her 2 daughters came today and 2 yesterday as seen below, Mrs. Girtain did yoga as well. The rest of us slept because we were up very late finishing our research and then stayed up to talk with our friends.
Mrs. Girtain was happy to see some of the Pocklab sensor data from the Cacao fields. She was up early a few days setting sensors in 5 different locations in the Cacao fields (Bean used to make Chocolate). Pablo, the owner of La Finca Anita wanted light data on the Cacao fields.
All the science groups did practice runs of their final Ant research presentations with Dr. Adrian Pinto. His graduate students, Allan & Ibrahim help groups on last minute questions.
All the groups presented. We can't believe our Ant research is finished and over.
The 3 Science Amigos, Allan, Adrian, & Ibrahim! Adrian Pinto is the George Clooney of Costa Rica. lol
We had spaghetti with a bolognese sauce and garlic bread for lunch.
We walked into town and got a tour from Ronald Castro (no Cuban connection lol) the president of the town association in Colonia Libertad (like a mayor).
He brought us on a very muddy tour of part of his farm so we could try to see a sloth. We got very muddy. Lex and Seth got stuck in the mud. Kate and Jesse did pretty well. Karlee and Karly went with Zach & Garrrett on a two hour tour with the Ronald and got to see a mother sloth and baby. Their view was great. The rest of us saw a blob in a tree because our sloth was so high up.
We stopped at Aida's house. She made a bunch of dessert empanada's for us. 5 in a bag for $2.
We also stopped at the "mall" AKA the Pulperia. It is a one room convenience store where we can get ice cream and cookies.
We waved goodbye to Dr. Pinto, Ibrahim & Allan as they headed back to San Jose. Ibrahim defends his research proposal tomorrow. We loved working with all of them and wish Ibrahim luck.
Dinner was wonderful with great guacamole. Today is our last full day at La Finca. We will miss the wonderful staff here and the beautiful views.
