After a leisurely morning working on our projects, we hiked out to Rio Seco waterfall. Along the way, our guides showed us some of the local trees and fruits. Some of us also got bitten by the biting ants….ouch! It was a beautiful site and a relief to see the waterfall up ahead. The waterfall crashed into an amazing green –blue pool below. The brave took turns climbing up the slippery rocks to jump down the waterfall. Emma T. was the first to leap off the falls…and the other Emma almost didn’t make it back alive, hanging from the top of the rocks!!
On a separate note, we would like to take a moment to comment on the food. Suzan and the kitchen girls do a fabulous job! Fresh baked breads, fruit (including watermelon, mango, pineapple, and bananas), juice made from these fruits, seasoned chicken and rice, and last but not least, the delicious late night cake.
We also want to mention the baby turtles, because well, we found them!
(Rachel, Emma T., and Lori) We were on our way to tag another big mama when we noticed moving spots in front of us. “Spiders?!!?” …upon closer inspection we found the cutest baby turtles on the planet. We found it true that when we touched the backs of the turtles they tried to crawl away, which is their instinct to do in the nest. We also dug up the nest and saved the life of the poor straggler who didn’t make it out of the nest with its brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, we also found a premature egg and opened it to see an almost formed hatchling so we gave him a proper burial. - Rachel, Emma and Jean
