Machete

Today I got to use a machete! We chopped down invasive plant species, then took a 2 hour hike in Selva Verde, another rainforest. We saw howler monkeys, peccaries, toucans, and three toed sloths; not to mention the bullet ants, leafcutter ants and crazy huge centipedes. It was nuts - I almost expected a T-Rex to pop out at any minute :-)

Tomorrow we move to the Arenal Volcano area and visit a school along the way. I am ready to hike and then relax in the hot springs.

I went swimming out in the pool to cool off this evening, just thought I should let you know that since I heard it is SNOWING in Vevay!

I must now go as some of us are learning to slack line tonight. I really stink at it! Here is my roommate, on her first try!

Adios, amigos.
