Day Six

Hi parents, this is day 6 and we did some really cool stuff. We woke up this morning, had some really nice breakfast, and headed to the activities. We split into two groups. While one group was doing the community tour, the other group went for the horseback riding. 






We got maps for the community tour that would guide us to different parts of the village and do our tasks of getting cheese and eggs. The horseback riding was fun. Pablo taught us how to ride horses and we went up and down a hill. It was reeeeeeally cool. We got to see an amazing view and took a picture together on the horses. Then we had some ice cream and headed for lunch. After that, we did some really hard work with our groups in the lab and made a lot of progress. We had dinner afterwards and headed to our cabin after this long and wonderful day. 

Good night parents

Day one - travel

 What is up Gang!! We are writing this the patio outside of the chocolate factory!! You might be wondering how we ended up in this situation.  First we flew to Houston where we the airplane ran out of space so we had to check our bags😾 But it worked out for the best, because we didn't have to lug our luggage. While waiting for our second flight Evie had the (probably) the best bagel of her life. (we think she is bluffing) Then we hopped on our 3ish hour flight where we experienced the most extreme turbulence of all time, and some epic clouds.  Next we embarked on our journey with trusty Gonzalo!! He drove us through some beautiful mountains, grass, rolling hills, a lot of cows, and geothermic vents.  Then around dark we arrived at FINCA LA ANITA!!! We ate dinner and had an amazing mystery dessert.  Once we were settled in our cabin we fell asleep to the sounds of all the bugs and birds! When the sun rose we could see how pretty the farm is! Anyways! We are abou...

Hello Families. Though we long for sleep, we must appease your worried minds, so we write to you of our travels. First we toured the cacao factory, and learned all about the history of cacao in central and south America. Then we sampled many delicious chocolates with no milk, as milk ruins everything and has no place in chocolate. Instead, we drank ground cacao with warm water and sugar, it was pretty good.  After a tasty lunch we went to the lab for the first time, watched several clips about ants, and where divided into groups. No one knows how, the scientists wrote various symbols next to our names, stared for a few minutes, and poof it was done. We started our first experiment to practice the scientific method, testing different environments for bacteria.  Then we took a bus back to the cabins, hung out with friends for a bit, and enjoyed dinner with caramelized bananas and cacao as dessert. The scientists then divided us into two groups. While half of us braved the danger...

Hey guys, today in the morning we saw the mariposas from the ladies in the village. They were supposed to have some blue butterflies by they had all died because it was too hot.  Then we got to look around the town. There's a little convenience store that we got some snacks from. Then we went to the lab and started on our scientific propositions. After that, we went to get lunch and then went back to the lab for more scientific propositions.  We were at the lab for all of the afternoon making sure that our propositions were good. We got dinner and then went back to lab to present our proposals and it rained really hard and was very loud.  There were SO MANY bugs at the lab, we saw a queen bullet ant. Now, we are back typing our blog................ Thanks for reading, we miss you and the internet. Bye!      Dorothy & Luke T
