Day 6: The day we rode horses like experts.

Day 6: The day we rode horses like experts.
Hola Amigos,
Today was day filled with lots of science and smiles. The day was started off with a delicious breakfast (as usual), followed by a morning of science. Our projects are slowly coming together. Jose and Gabriel gave everyone or every pair a one-on-one session to help us make sense of everything we are doing and the results we are finding. After a morning of doing intense science work, like the researchers we are, we had lunch. And even though most of wanted to take naps after lunch, we just didn’t have extra time to do so because we had an exciting adventure ahead of us.  It was raining when we left Finca La Anita, so we were somewhat worried about going horse backing riding but Pablo ensured us that we will be safe.  And as if the sky was listening to what he said, the rain stopped shortly after. Horseback riding was incredibly fun and the sites were beautiful and to all the worried parents who are reading this, no one fell off the horses. After successfully riding the horses like experts, we did some community service. Boraan designed a beautiful mural for the walls of the bus stop that we were painting, but unfortunately the white base didn’t dry in time so we are going back tomorrow to finish it. We also played soccer for a little while before it was time to go back to Finca La Anita and yes we all came back in one piece.  And now I am signing off because tomorrow is going to be a day dedicated to science.
