Traveling Again!

¡Hola mis amigos!  Hi to my friends in Mrs Williams class!  I miss you all!

I graduated Spanish class last week.  It was fun and I learned a lot but I'm happy to be moving on.

We are near Monteverde staying at a big farm for 2 days.  It is a self sustaining farm which means they grow their own food and have animals too.  They have lots of fruit trees, a milking cow, water buffalo, a cow, pigs, sheep, horses and chickens.  The farm is located on a river.  The river is fun because the water is cold, clean and has pools to swim in!  The house is very rustic but it is cozy and there is an old foosball table on the back patio.  

We woke up early to help Jose milk the cow and feed the animals.  Milking the cow was kind of disgusting. The baby fed first to help get it started.  He was a very slobbery drinker!  They barely cleaned the cow with water before we starting milking her.  We decided to drink our store bought milk this morning instead of fresh.  Feeding the pigs and sheep was very dusty but they didn't mind.

After breakfast we walked to the Guacimal Sustainability Center.  We had to cross the river in three places.  It felt good because it is hot here.  We  were greeted by a 5 week old baby donkey named Elsa.  They had turkeys, more pigs, sheep, an emu and a coati.  The coati has lived there since it was a baby.  It is similar to a raccoon but it has a very long tail.   He is free to leave but he doesn't want to.  He is good friends with a crazy, playful dog that lives there.  The people that own Rancho El Rio own and live in the sustainability center.  They are educating the people in the community about organic farming.  The center is the place in the community where people gather to do activities.  They do lots of different things there. They are working to help save the rivers in Costa Rica.
