Hola families and friends!
Today we left the Corcovado Lodge right after breakfast and travelled to La Finca Kobo, a chocolate plantation. While there we stepped outside our comfort zones and tasted a lot of new fruits from jackfruit to cinnamon bark (even drank straight from a coconut). We also got to follow the entire process of making chocolate from the raw beans to the final product, which is much more delicious than American chocolate. At the end of the tour we got to eat chocolate fondue and cake!
After the tour we travelled to Dos Brazos community where we will be doing our community service. We got to see the school and the computer room where we will be working. We met the local families and split into groups to eat lunch with the separate families.
The families were all so nice and welcoming even though we had only just met them. After a long day we arrived at Las Ventanas where we will be staying for the next four nights. We split into our rooms and put our mosquito nets over our beds. We then enjoyed some down time, learning sessions, in which we learned about our individual leadership styles, and a delicious dinner cooked for us by our host Rocio and her son. We had a great day and are looking forward to the community project we raised money for and other activities tomorrow.
And Olivia says Happy Birthday Mom!
Pura vida,
Caroline and Tess
