Day 9:
We took a hike with Mapache, Little Oscar, and Oso the dog. Mapache stopped us every now and again to point out various plants. Along the way, a couple people were stung by some crazy bees, but overall, the rainforest is SOO pretty. Here are a few pictures:
Mapache is showing us a skull he found


Look at all the catepillars!


Oso is just taking a quick rest. Que lindo!
In the afternoon, we split up into groups, and each group visited a different family. The point of the exercise was to meet the people we were hoping to help by painting the school. The family we met with was somewhat shy. They didn’t ask us many questions, but we asked  them a few. The father’s major concern with the school was not the paint job, but the fact that it doesn’t have any English lessons. He told us one needs English to get a good job. He was also very proud of his home because he had built it. If I were him, I’d be really proud too.  

Nice house, huh?

Yes, that's a pigeon
