Day 1 July 15th


Hi everybody, we arrived here in Finca La Anita after a long and arduous journey lasting approximately fifteen hours. Our journey began at 2:00 A.M. when we all woke up and dragged ourselves to the airport while the sun was still in Africa. Luckily, we all arrived on time and boarded our first flight when Mrs. Leland started a riot on the plane; an exceptionally brave flight attendant regained control of the situation. When Mr. Doleman stood up to hand out our first educational documents, the same outstanding flight attendant heroically maintained control of the situation.

Once we landed in Houston, we faced a flight delay that left us playing spot-it and snatching a very early lunch. By the way, most of us raised our arms at the beginning of both flights.  When we finally shoveled off in our buses, we discovered monkeys, parrots and a toucan on a journey through a desolate region. We soon found ourselves surrounded by rain forest, just before stumbling upon the beautiful Finca La Anita. We dined a phenomenal dinner of chicken and vegetables with tamarin juice interrupted only by the flickering of lightning.

We soon ventured on a journey searching for leafcutter ants and other creatures. We found ants, moths, frogs, and more on this short trek.
Goodnight,
Corey Prell and Mason Zarns
