Day 4 July 18

Hola,

 

Today was a full day of science, including fungus culturing, experimental design, and crushed dreams. After a breakfast of rice and beans, we began the day with extracting fungus samples from the colonies that we collected yesterday. Additionally, we completed our science booklets of depressing disease information and biology crosswords. Who knew a tuberculosis epidemic was imminent? We then began brainstorming ideas for our main experiment with the ants. MANY ideas were shot down; one final idea survived. We were also treated to a break of Costa Rican coffee and homemade cinnamon rolls. After dinner, the lights suddenly flicked off, and a delicious chocolate cake for Abby's belated birthday. Our last act of science for the day was presenting our experiments. After a barrage of critiques from our amigos, our experiments became more solidified, in contrast with the melting heat surrounding us.

The blog is significantly shorter today, as it is
 late and we are sick of typing and critiquing each others grammar.

Con mucho amor,
Isaac y Charley
