May 21, 2024- 

This morning I woke and had circle time at 6:00 where we talked about what we are all grateful for. Then shortly after we met with our mentor.

Today my group and I started our field work. We we when to this first stop to learn how to use the app we will be using for this project.

After we went to the Batipa Head trail, where we made our way up. It was the same one from yesterday, I was happy to check out the plants but this time utilizing the app. 

While on the tail we had lunch then continued for about 3 hours. Even going a little off-trail.

We returned to Centro Batipa, around 3:10 ish and had a break before dinner.

After Dinner, there were about 30 minutes we had before circle time when we discussed the article "From "education for sustainability development" to "education for the end of the world as we knew it". There were so many good conversations and stories. 

Ending the night with discussing the plans for tomorrow which start at 7-7:30.

Visited and did a presentation and saw a dance. So we visited the Ngabe tribe. It was so nice and I felt very welcomed. I saw a wonderful dance and ate a nice soup. We visited the medicine garden where it started to rain so much, still, everything was so beautiful. After that all of us completed a Clean Water presentation, where we talked about the importance of clean water and how to store water.

  Boat day and Beach day  So today, Sunday, started very early. Around 7:30. We checked out two beaches today. Swam in the water. The water was so nice and warm. I was able to see crabs and hermit crabs. I also drank out of a coconut for the first time while floating. The first island was nice and relaxing, I swam and then laid on a towel. When we left the first island we got the chance to snorkel. We left for the Last Island were we swam, set up the towels again, went tubing on a hot dog, and then ate lunch there. When leaving it was so hot I got so sunburnt. I saw dolphins and we also saw a huge bird in the sky, its feathers looked like it had two tails. After some research maybe a FrigateBird? But we also broke a seat after hitting a wave.. it was so funny.

"Preliminary" Presentation Day Today was extremely successful. I'm writing this blog around 4:55.  My group today, the "Plant" group, presented our poster on Flora de Batipa. Ebony and Salvador have been such amazing teammates. I slept in a little and that felt amazing. I even posted a few of the photos I took to share with friends. The weather today was hot, but now while writing this, it's extremely windy. I see possible rain coming in tonight. Also, I did an interview with Karolynn. Ate dinner, Went to sleep shortly after.
