Hi everyone at home!
We made it!!!
The day started out quite early,as many of you may know. The flight to Atlanta was pretty uneventful, with homework, sleeping, and the complimentary in-flight entertainment (aka movies and games). That flight was about 1 1/2 hours long. We got to Atlanta on time and didn't even have to rush to our next gate. The larger group got lost getting to the tram to switch terminals A to E but we made it with enough time to spare for a bathroom break. No one really liked the flight from Atlanta to Costa Rica. It was cold, still really early in the morning and we had more homework! While on the international flight, we all had to complete customs and immigration papers, which were both very confusing. After finishing the papers, lots of us watched more in-flight entertainment, mainly the movie Divergent. Once the 3 1/2  hour plane ride was finally done, we took a mini tourist bus two hours into the rainforest. It was a really bumpy ride and 45 minutes of dirt road was not a fun end to a day of traveling. Those 45 minutes of road was only 14 kilometers. That's how slow we were. But finally we made it to Finca La Anita!!!! We got our boots and went for a nice 30 minute hike in the forest around the ranch. After our hike we got to meet four new friends on the ranch! An adorable horse who was very nice and three dogs. A black and white dog with three legs we nicknamed Stumpy, another black and white dog with four legs is now Sweetie, and a brown and white dog we named Sandy. We ate dinner with nature (bugs and a giant moth) and it was delicious!! 40% of the fruits and veggies we ate we produced here on the farm. Well, that's all that happened for today!
Hope everyone at home is fine and good!
See you tomorrow!
