This morning we woke up at five because we still haven't gotten used to this time zone. Then we ate breakfast because the food here is so amazing I just can't even. American food is so bad compared to Costa Rican food! But honestly, I am really craving pizza right now. Then we went ziplining through the canopy, which was awesome. There were nine ziplines for us to go on, and it took two hours to complete it all. I got stuck on some of them, just like almost everyone else. Then we came back to our eco retreat and had lunch, which was pasta. Then we had free time. During this time we basically just swing on the hammocks and explore. After our free time, we went to a Ethno-botanist and he made us eat weird leaves that fizz in your mouth. I wish America was this cool. He also gave us a ton of leaves, fruits, and plants to eat. Some of them were really good, and some of them we spit out. Angela, Suhasini, and I used seeds to mark the red liquid on our palms, and using a plant that had powdery stuff, we got tattoos and put them all over our faces. It was so fun! Then we came back to our lodge and took cold showers. We just hung out until dinner time which is so good. I love talking to the kids here because it is fun to speak Spanish. So far I haven't gotten a mosquito bite! Let's just hope it stays that way.
