After a good night's sleep (with the help of a little benedryl and aleve!) I am ready to tackle another day in the rainforest. I'm really hoping that the ants and mosquitos are finished feasting on all of us and we don't come back with more bites today.
We just returned from breakfast, with of course, more rice and beans, cheese tortilla and the BEST coffee! In a few minutes we will be heading out back to Guacimo to continue working on the community garden. The plan today is to have some more soil brought in and mark out the beds that will be within the large area that we cleared. We also have a little more ditch digging to allow for proper drainage. If you remember back to the first trip we did dig a ditch there to lay a foundation for a wall, however this is just a small ditch to allow for runoff and the good news is we started it yesterday and it shouldn't take that long today. We also hope to get it done before the next rainstorm comes through!
FYI...The picture that is currently on the background of the blog is from my first trip here to Costa Rica back in July 2008. It is of the church of Santa Cruz where we spent a lot of our work time. After a quick visit yesterday it was great to see it all completed. I'll try to post some pictures when I have a little more time.
