Back in Monteverde! And of course, it’s raining like no other at the moment.
We arrived yesterday and spent some time in downtown Santa Elena before checking into our hotel. After check-in we headed to la cancha sintetica for some fútbol. The synthetic court is a covered court just for soccer, so the kids had a chance to burn off some energy after being on a bus for four hours in the morning.
Today we took the group to a coffee coop plantation where they helped plant coffee trees on a coffee plantation that aide the local town in earning money. The town that farms the coop is a poor town, so the money from the coop goes to help them. After the volunteer work, the kids ate at Stella’s Bakery—one of my favorite bakeries in Monteverde. I got a free pastry for being a guide (this job has all sorts of perks!).
It’s 8:30 and I’m back at CPI right now. We are attempting to have movie night, but the sound keeps failing. No worries, we have plenty of popcorn!
Nothing too exciting to speak of today though. I ran an 8k before work and it’s becoming like an addiction. I think it’s also how I stay sane. : )
Amor,
Jessica
