Today

Hi family,
Today was very fun. While at the beginning it poured, it got better. My favorite part was moter dugout canoe ride. It was really fun because the scenery was great and the boat was fun to ride. Once we got to the Bribri tribe, we got to see how they live. It is very interesting to see how they get by on a lot less than us. We also made chocolate. First we ground up the cocoa beans, then liquified the beans with a hand crank. The chocolate was very good. I also ended up slipping in mud 3 times, giving me the award for the most clumsy of the day. On the way back in the canoes, we raced. Our canoe won by a mile. Tomorrow we are going snorkeling, which will be really fun.
